Overview

The IBM_DB Adapter requires the native Ruby driver (ibm_db) for IBM data servers (ibm_db.so). config the hash passed as an initializer argument content:

mandatory parameters

adapter:         'ibm_db'        // IBM_DB Adapter name
username:        'db2user'       // data server (database) user
password:        'secret'        // data server (database) password
database:        'ARUNIT'        // remote database name (or catalog entry alias)

optional (highly recommended for data server auditing and monitoring purposes)

schema:          'rails123'      // name space qualifier
account:         'tester'        // OS account (client workstation)
app_user:        'test11'        // authenticated application user
application:     'rtests'        // application name
workstation:     'plato'         // client workstation name

remote TCP/IP connection (required when no local database catalog entry available)

host:            'socrates'      // fully qualified hostname or IP address
port:            '50000'         // data server TCP/IP port number
security:        'SSL'           // optional parameter enabling SSL encryption -
                                 // - Available only from CLI version V95fp2 and above
authentication:  'SERVER'        // AUTHENTICATION type which the client uses - 
                                 // - to connect to the database server. By default value is SERVER
timeout:         10              // Specifies the time in seconds (0 - 32767) to wait for a reply from server -
                                 //- when trying to establish a connection before generating a timeout

Parameterized Queries Support

parameterized:  false            // Specifies if the prepared statement support of 
                                 //- the IBM_DB Adapter is to be turned on or off

When schema is not specified, the username value is used instead. The default setting of parameterized is false.

#add_limit_offset!(sql, options) ⇒ Object

Modifies a sql statement in order to implement a LIMIT and an OFFSET. A LIMIT defines the number of rows that should be fetched, while an OFFSET defines from what row the records must be fetched. IBM data servers implement a LIMIT in SQL statements through: FETCH FIRST n ROWS ONLY, where n is the number of rows required. The implementation of OFFSET is more elaborate, and requires the usage of subqueries and the ROW_NUMBER() command in order to add row numbering as an additional column to a copy of the existing table.

Examples

add_limit_offset!(‘SELECT * FROM staff’, => 10) generates: “SELECT * FROM staff FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY”

add_limit_offset!(‘SELECT * FROM staff’, => 10, :offset => 30) generates “SELECT O.* FROM (SELECT I.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER () sys_rownum FROM (SELECT * FROM staff) AS I) AS O WHERE sys_row_num BETWEEN 31 AND 40”

#change_column(table_name, column_name, type, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Changes the column’s definition according to the new options. See TableDefinition#column for details of the options you can use.

change_column(:suppliers, :name, :string, :limit => 80)
change_column(:accounts, :description, :text)

#change_column_default(table_name, column_name, default) ⇒ Object

Sets a new default value for a column. This does not set the default value to NULL, instead, it needs DatabaseStatements#execute which can execute the appropriate SQL statement for setting the value.

Examples

change_column_default(:suppliers, :qualification, 'new')
change_column_default(:accounts, :authorized, 1)

Method overriden to satisfy IBM data servers syntax.
