For a DB2 ADO.NET data provider, you would need to provide the following connection information:
- Database – The name of the database to access
- Server – The name of the database server. If the server is remote, you might also need to specify the TCP port number used by DB2, typically 50000. For example, servername:50000.
- User ID and Password - You can specify these as connection settings or code them into your program using the EXEC SQL CONNECT statement.
