How to connect to DB2 SQL database with node JS?

1.9k views Asked by At

For linux, one can use the API page found here, and connecting is straight forward. For OS X, one will run into the error when trying to connect to an existing DB2 database:

{ [Error: [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1042C  An unexpected system error occurred.  SQLSTATE=58004 ] error: '[node-odbc] SQL_ERROR', message: '[IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1042C  An unexpected system error occurred.  SQLSTATE=58004\n', state: 'HY000' }

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

The latest answer on this issue gives you the answer:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/.../<project_folder>/node_modules/ibm_db/installer/clidriver/lib/icc
node app.js

You have to do this every time you enter the shell, so you may as well put this in your .profile or .bash_profile.
