The Installation of IBM DB2 Express-C V9 is a little bit tricky..
First of all you can not install it under SYSTEM account!
If your deployment tool does not support the installation with a different user account you have to use a toll like CPAU.EXE to do this!
Second you can not use the documented way of IBM to install DB2 silently.
If you try to call setup.exe /u 'RSPFILENAME.RSP' with a deployment tool (I tried this with different tools), the installation process will be canceled immediately. DB2 even does not write a log or trace file!
Only if you use the MSI file directly you can install DB2!
The name of the MSI file is DB2 Express.msi and it is located under DB2WINDOWS
I start the installation with following command:
msiexec /i '..DB2WINDOWSDB2 Express.msi' RSP_FILE_PATH='..Express-C_V9_FP2.rsp' SILENT_MODE='ON' TRANSFORMS='..DB2WINDOWSEXP1031.mst' /l* c:tempEXP-C_V9.log /qn /norestart
The reason why I use the transform 1031.mst is that DB2 will adjust the program language, depending on the OS language, correctly. But the links in Start menu are always English!
If you use 1031.mst, the links are German!
If you need this you will find your language mst under DB2WINDOWSEXP
Since Version 9.5 the MSI file is named 'DB2 Server.msi'
If you try to install this as described before, you will find in 'Licence Center' an unlicensed product 'DB2 Enterprise Server Edition'.
If you do not want this you can transform the MSI property PROP_RSP_PROD from ENTERPRISE_SERVER_EDITION to UDB_EXPRESS_EDITION

  1. Product IBM Db2® on Cloud IBM Db2 Database; Description: A fully managed SQL cloud database easily deploys and scales on demand: Download and use a fully featured version of Db2 including: compression, encryption, IBM BLU Acceleration® and IBM pureScale® for as long as you would like, free of charge, with no obligations.
  2. DB2 Express-C is free to develop, deploy and distribute. It is a fast, secure, reliable, and amazingly scalable dataserver, ideal for most startups and small/medium sized businesses. DB2 Express-C is available on Linux, Unix, Windows, and now Mac OS X as well!
  3. Express-C has db2/connect client built in. But you may need to configure/define your node and database directories in order to access your db2/z. Let me know if you need help defining nodes and databases directory. Mind you Express-C is not a server and my gut feelings are Express-C has limited amount of threads to connect to db2/z.
  4. Feb 10, 2010  Installation of IBM DB2 Express-C is pretty straight forward using the GUI installer (db2setup) included on the package. The installer also has included a nice pdf instruction on how to install the database but according to what i experience following those sequence of steps it did not work for me having Snowleopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 version and, maybe some other version might work.
  5. Feb 02, 2016  IBM developerWorks has a nice article on How to install IBM DB2 Express-C on Mac OS X. The primary issue is that you will need to raise some system limits on System V IPC mechanisms at boot time, and there's a tendency to overwrite your /etc/serv.

DB2 Express-C is a robust relational database management system (RDBMS) with its own set of management tools and no limits on the size of the database. DB2 Express-C runs on Linux, Windows, Solaris, and Mac OS X. RPG developers who have been honing their skills learning PHP can effectively deploy PHP applications on a DB 2 Express-C database. Contrast this with IBM DB2 Express-C which has had a constant stream of updates and enhancements. Take a look at this article to see the new features introduced in the latest version 9.7.2 of DB2 Express-C. Not only is DB2 Express-C consistently kept at the same level as higher value DB2 editions, we also lead with DB2 Express-C in some cases.

2.2 Creating a New DB2 Database

Database

This section provides instructions for creating a new DB2 database.

2.2.1 Creating a New DB2 Database Using a SQL Script

You can use a SQL script to create aDB2 database (and a user for the new database) for any version of IBM DB2 that is installed on your environment, including IBM DB2 versions 9.7 and 10.1.

Note:

If you installed IBM DB2 version 9.7, you have the option of creating a new DB2 database using the db2cc utility. For instructions, see Section 2.2.2, 'Creating a New DB2 Database Using the 'db2cc' Utility.'

To create a new DB2 database using a SQL script

Db2 Express-c Database Server For Mac Os X 10

  1. Create a user for the new database. For example, to create a user named csuser on Linux:

  2. Log in with DB2 instance owner credentials. For example, db2inst1.

  3. Create a file with the following DB2 commands. (For example, create db.sql and modify the database name, path, and user variables to match your installation):

  4. Create the directory for your database.

  5. Execute the sql script. For example:

2.2.2 Creating a New DB2 Database Using the 'db2cc' Utility
