Hi all,

Does anybody know how to determine operating system of DB2 through jdbc?
Looks like one could use DataBaseMetaData.getDatabaseProductName(), which in case of Windows will return something like 'DB2/NT'. But what about other OS'es like Unix, z/OS and OS/400?

I would imagine that the DB2 documentation lists the various possibilities.

Android apps – ImageJ plugins – Java web charts

It's IBM, and the documentation will be there, but not all in one place.

The value for each platform will be listed in the platform specific DB2 documentation.

And I saw at least one case (a filed APAR, a bug) where a driver was retruning only 'DB2' when connected to zOS.

Good luck.
