Previously, for .NET Framework 4.8 I was able to use (something like) the following to register the IBM iSeries factory:
DbProviderFactories.RegisterFactory("IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries", "IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.iDB2Factory, IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9cdb2ebfb1f93a26");
I understand that to connect using .NET 7.0 I now need to use the Net.IBM.Data.Db2 drivers.
What would be the equivalent parameter values for DbProviderFactories.RegisterFactory() for Net.IBM.Data.Db2? I can't seem to find it online.
I have installed the Net.IBM.Data.Db2 NuGet package.
I can actually use this call instead:
using IBM.Data.Db2;
DbProviderFactories.RegisterFactory("Net.IBM.Data.DB2", DB2Factory.Instance);
Note that if I then use:
DataTable dt = DbProviderFactories.GetFactoryClasses();
the data table will show the correct parameter value I was looking for:
"IBM.Data.Db2.DB2Factory, IBM.Data.Db2, Version=7.0.0.200, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7c307b91aa13d208"
