Db2 and sqlj

Question

Anyone know how to use sqlj with Jdev to access a DB2 database? I keep getting a codegen message ("Exception: SQLJ programs translated with the option -codegen=oracle must be run under Oracle JDBC 9.0.0 or higher. ") when I attempt to run the program. It does compile though.
Anyone know a work around for this?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, under JDeveloper the various settings of the SQLJ translator's -codegen option are not exposed.
You have the following alternatives:
(1) Use the command line version of SQLJ (called sqlj.exe on Windows) and set the command line option:
-codegen=iso
This generates standard ISO SQLJ code, which was the default in 9.0.1 and earlier.
(2) Use the command line version of SQLJ but instead of -codegen=iso you could use -codegen=jdbc.
This undocumented flag generates mostly JDBC code (without support for statement caching,
batching, or update counts) that will run in conjunction with virtually any SQLJ runtime version.
(3) The -codegen setting used by SQLJ is configuration-coded. By exchanging configuration properties
in the SQLJ translator.jar we could get a default setting of (1) or of (2) above (which is different from
-codegen=oracle) under JDeveloper. Since with -codegen=oracle setting the .ser files have gone
away, it is possible that .ser files will not be properly handled under JDev any longer. This would
mean that we could only use new configuration coding for (2) inside of JDev.
Let me know ([email protected]) if you'd like me to forward you new SQLJ configuration classes
along the line of (3). Thanks!
