Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add laravel-db2 to your composer.json file:

```
"require": {
    "cooperl/laravel-db2": "^8.0"
}

```

Use [composer](https://getcomposer.org) to install this package.

```
$ composer update

```

### Database Configuration

[](#database-configuration)

There are two ways to configure laravel-db2. You can choose the most convenient way for you. You can put your DB2 credentials into `config/database.php` (option 1) file or use package config file which you can generate through command line by artisan (option 2).

Please check appropriate specific DSN parameters for your connection. For instance here are the ODBC keywords for IBMi [https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/fr/ssw\_ibm\_i\_74/rzaik/connectkeywords.htm](https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/fr/ssw_ibm_i_74/rzaik/connectkeywords.htm)

If you encounter issues with char fields containing characters outside the invariant character set (for example: "ü") in PHP applications using the UTF8 locale the workaround to prevent the extra garbage data is to set the following connection string keyword: `DEBUG = 65536`

#### Option 1: Configure DB2 using `config/database.php` file

[](#option-1-configure-db2-using-configdatabasephp-file)

Simply add this code at the end of your `config/database.php` file:

```
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | DB2 Databases
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    */

    'ibmi' => [

        + (defined('PDO::I5_ATTR_COMMIT') ? [PDO::I5_ATTR_COMMIT => PDO::I5_TXN_NO_COMMIT] : [])

        + (defined('PDO::I5_ATTR_DBC_CURLIB') ? [PDO::I5_ATTR_DBC_CURLIB => ''] : [])
    ],
```

driver setting can be:

- 'db2\_ibmi\_odbc' for IBMi ODBC connection
- 'db2\_ibmi\_ibm' for IBMi PDO\_IBM connection
- 'db2\_zos\_odbc' for zOS ODBC connection
- 'db2\_expressc\_odbc for Express-C ODBC connection

Then if driver is 'db2\_\*\_odbc', database must be set to ODBC connection name. if driver is 'db2\_ibmi\_ibm', database must be set to IBMi database name (WRKRDBDIRE).

#### Option 2: Configure DB2 using package config file

[](#option-2-configure-db2-using-package-config-file)

Run on the command line from the root of your project:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish

```

Set your laravel-db2 credentials in `config/db2.php`the same way as above

### Queue Configuration

[](#queue-configuration)

Simply set database connection driver value to `'db2_odbc'` in `config/queue.php` file:
