That's because the Type 4 JDBC driver is bundled into the product, not a
separate download. (Or at least, I *think* it is since I haven't installed
DB2 Version 8 yet.)

Have a look for db2jcc.jar; it should be somewhere underneath your SQLLIB
directory although I'm not exactly sure where. That's the one that contains
the Type 4 JDBC driver.

If you need to see information on how to program with the Type 4 driver, all
of the DB2 V8 manuals are at
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data...manualsv8.html. With
any luck, you also installed them when you installed DB2; if you did, there
should be a search engine with the DB2 Information application that lets you
find key words across all of the manuals. However, if you didn't install the
manuals or can't find the search engine, you can find what you want at the
URL I just cited. Just click on the "V8 InfoCenter" link in the first
paragraph of that page and you'll get to a search engine that lets you look
for whatever you want.
