DB2 Connectivity

    We have a DB2 database we need to connect to. One of our developers thinks we should use the JDBC drivers but that would require installing JRE on the SQL Server box.

    I have always heard that presents a significant security and reliability problem. Thoughts?

    Go with OLEDB, forget about JDBC.

    I'm using Hit Software OLEDB driver, quite expensive but works well.

    Our DB2 DBA team has OLEDB disabled and only allows JDBC connections. They say that using JDBC only provides better performance.
