 ===== Description =====
 This driver provides a connection to IBM DB2 Databases, using the IBM Data Client. This driver replaces the original [[v5:database:odbc#odbc_db2|DB2 ODBC]] driver.
+== PHP Drivers For Windows ==
+PHP 7 and 8 drivers for windows are currently available [[https://github.com/ibmdb/php_ibm_db2|here]]

 The DB2 database must be catalogued for a connection like this to work.
 </WRAP>
+==== Building a catalog entry ====
+This is a simple example building a catalogued connection from a windows client to a remote DB2 server running on a machine named adodb-db2.local. The server is running on port 25010. We will add a DSN entry called //**adodb-test**//
+<code>
+db2cli writecfg add -database SAMPLE -host adodb-db2.local -port 25010
+db2cli writecfg add -dsn adodb-test -database SAMPLE -host adodb-db2.local -port 25010
+</code>
+To use this DSN
 <code php>
 include '../adodb/adodb.inc.php';
-$database = 'SAMPLE';
+$dsn = 'adodb-test';
 $user = 'db2inst1';
 $password = 'instance';
 $conn = ADOnewConnection('db2');
-$conn->connect($database, $user, $password);

+The driver is deprecated. To write portable code that uses bind parameters and can be shared between DB2 and Oracle, use the [[v5:reference:connection:param|param()]] method.
