Summary: support for IBM DB2

Initial Comment:
I would like to see support for IBM DB2. DB2 is used more and more, even in the private sector, especially since Express-C is available.
You can send me any questions regarding DB2 and the ibm_db2 PHP driver. Furthermore I can do a code review.

Hi Garvin,

Thanks for your reply. I don't want to be bitchy or rude, but SQL was
invented by IBM. DB2 does support all certified SQL standards.
The problem is that other database vendors add non standard clauses to
their SQL and everybody uses this non standard SQL without being aware that
it is not ANSI conform.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to check out the s9y layer right now.
Furthermore I need to talk to several people in my company, if I am even
allowed to work on that.

Cheers,
  Helmut

Hi!

Sadly none of our developers use DB2 or have had any experience with it,
so we'd need volunteer help for this. s9y has a very simple DB layer, found
in the include/db/ directory, which just emulates simple SQL statements.

AFAIK DB2 has a non-ANSI-SQL command set, so many things would need to be
rewritten?

Regards,
Garvin
