Interface for GoLang to DB2 for z/OS, DB2 for LUW, DB2 for i.
For complete list of go_ibm_db APIs and examples please check APIDocumentation.md
Golang should be installed(Golang version should be >=1.12.x and <= 1.20.X)
Git should be installed in your system.
For non-windows users, GCC and tar should be present in your system.
For Docker Linux Container(Ex: Amazon Linux2), use below commands:
yum install go git tar libpam
Environment variable DB2HOME name is changed to IBM_DB_HOME.
You may install go_ibm_db using either of below commands
go get -d github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db
go install github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db/installer@latest
go install github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db/installer@v0.4.3
If you already have a clidriver available in your system, add the path of the same to your Path windows environment variable
Example: Path = C:\Program Files\IBM\IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER\bin
If you do not have a clidriver in your system, go to installer folder where go_ibm_db is downloaded in your system, use below command:
(Example: C:\Users\uname\go\src\github.com\ibmdb\go_ibm_db\installer or C:\Users\uname\go\pkg\mod\github.com\ibmdb\go_ibm_db\installer
where uname is the username ) and run setup.go file (go run setup.go).
Set IBM_DB_HOME to clidriver downloaded path and
set this path to your PATH windows environment variable
(Example: Path=C:\Users\uname\go\src\github.com\ibmdb\clidriver)
set IBM_DB_HOME=C:\Users\uname\go\src\github.com\ibmdb\clidriver
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\uname\go\src\github.com\ibmdb\clidriver\bin
or
set PATH=%PATH%;%IBM_DB_HOME%\bin
Script file to set environment variable
cd .../go_ibm_db/installer
setenvwin.bat
You may install go_ibm_db using either of below commands
go get -d github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db
go install github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db/installer@latest
go install github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db/installer@v0.4.2
If you already have a clidriver available in your system, set the below environment variables with the clidriver path
export IBM_DB_HOME=/home/uname/clidriver
export CGO_CFLAGS=-I$IBM_DB_HOME/include

Script file to set environment variables in Linux/Mac
cd .../go_ibm_db/installer
source setenv.sh
For Docker Linux Container, use below commands
yum install -y gcc git go wget tar xz make gcc-c++
cd /root
curl -OL https://golang.org/dl/go1.17.X.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.17.X.linux-amd64.tar.gz
rm /usr/bin/go
rm /usr/bin/gofmt
cp /usr/local/go/bin/go /usr/bin/
cp /usr/local/go/bin/gofmt /usr/bin/
go install github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db/installer@v0.4.2
or
go install github.com/ibmdb/go_ibm_db/installer@latest
go_ibm_db driver can connect to DB2 on Linux Unix and Windows without any additional license/s, however, connecting to databases on DB2 for z/OS or DB2 for i(AS400) Servers require either client side or server side license/s. The client side license would need to be copied under license folder of your clidriver installation directory and for activating server side license, you would need to purchase DB2 Connect Unlimited Edition for System z® and DB2 Connect Unlimited Edition for System i®.
To know more about license and purchasing cost, please contact IBM Customer Support.
To know more about server based licensing viz db2connectactivate, follow below links:
- Activating the license certificate file for DB2 Connect Unlimited Edition.
- Unlimited licensing using db2connectactivate utility

- Connection information must be specified in the environment variables
For example, by sourcing the following ENV variables:
export DB2_DATABASE=<Database Name>
export DB2_USER=<Username>
export DB2_PASSWD=<Password>
export DB2_HOSTNAME=<Hostname or IP>
export DB2_PORT=<Database Port>
- OR
If not using environment variables, update connection information in
go_ibm_db/testdata/config.json file.
-
Now run go test command (use go test -v command for details)
-
To run a particular test case (use "go test sample_test.go main.go", example "go test Arraystring_test.go main.go")
