[Squirrel-sql-users] Squirrel DB2 driver not loading

[Andres M. Chiriboga]

I have installed and uninstalled Squirrel 3.0.3 about 8 times in 2 different machines, but I cannot get the DB2 driver to load, although that's the only optional plug-in I'm selecting. I need help, please. I'm running on Windows XP Professional SP3. I am using the installer I downloaded, which is the file "squirrel-sql-3.0.3-install.jar". The installation goes without error and it indicates that it's installing the DB2 driver as the 3rd step, but nothing.

When I open the app all the drivers, except for "JDBC ODBC Bridge" have the red "x" icon next to them. If I double click on either of the "IBM DB2..." drivers I get the "Change Driver" window. The Class Name shows "COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver", but if I click "OK" I get this message on the message area:

"Could not find class COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver in neither the Java class path nor the Extra class path of the IBM DB2 App Driver driver definition:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver"

Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.

Thanks!

The optional plugins are not drivers! We are forbidden from shipping
commercial drivers due to their licensing terms and SourceForge's
hosting requirements. You will need to contact IBM to get the
appropriate driver jar file for your DB2 server. Of course, you will
still want to install the optional plugins that are relevant for your
database server.
