Since you are accessing DB2 from Azure, have you purchased DB2 Connect? If not, be aware IBM will make you purchase this software license just to get the .NET Core driver. At a minimum you are looking at $20,000 just to be able to connect to their database.

Hi Premkumar, thank you for your email. - Do you know if the issue I am facing will definitely been resolved in the next release? stackoverflow.com/questions/62327380/...
- Is the next release on schedule for end of June 2020 still?
- How can I get hold of the Beta version so I can test sooner?
- It is crucial on the project I am working on right now to enable connectivity to on prem DB2 database from Azure (Either using a WebApp or a Function App), either way the code will be written in .Net Core 3.x. Do you know if this will be supported in your next release?
- Also, if you are not releasing a Nuget package what kind of alternative package can we expect? I.e. Dll, installer or drivers?
Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you. Dino |

Hi,
work on .NET Core support is in progress and should be done with in the first half of 2020 or earlier.
Yes, from .NET Core 2.2 to .NET 3.1, it should have been a simple upgrade but we are noticing many breaking changes in MS .NET Core which is affecting our Entity Framework support.
I will be following your messages and would try to provide any updates we have. If you are interested in alpha programs of IBM .NET Core 3.1, please contact IBM customer support indicating the same.
Thanks

The astonishing thing is IBM bought out Red Hat and Red Hat does support .NET Core 3.1, but IBM to connect to their own database does not. This puts my employer and me in a rock and a hard place. We have an ERP system that's using DB2 as the backend so there's zero chance we are going to switch, because of a huge expense. Most of our custom programs written to support this ERP system are written in C# .NET 4.x. And to re-write those in java or anything else is a no go as well for the same reason. .NET 5 is coming out this year so we should be writing any new projects in .NET Core 3.1, but we are stuck with .NET 4.x. And what happens if IBM does not create .Net Core 3 DB2 client?
I don't understand why IBM dropped the ball on this, it's all open source it's not like they don't have specs and they could get those specs for years before it was released as production product. Especially when they have .NET Core 2.2 Db2 client so I can't imagine it would take a lot to make it work with 3.1. But at the speed, IBM works even if they started today it would take a couple of years before we would see it so I hope they have something in the works already. But I am looking for a workaround.

Definitely not a good sign and what you have found is consistent with what I have been able to find. After being bounced around to multiple IBM "experts" none of them seem to even know what .NET Core is, much less how IBM is going to support it in the future. IBM should either just stop pretending they want to integrate with other systems or either get serious about it.

From the answers, I am getting nobody has any idea about the status of .NET Core 3.x DB2 EF client, which worries me because it takes IBM years to update anything for .NET. And .NET Core 2.2 is not supported anymore and there is no DB2 .NET client for .NET 3.1 so we are stuck with .NET 2.2 and developing applications for .NET Core 2.2 or .NET 4.8 or going to Java, maybe that's what IBM wants. Or maybe I am not looking at the right places.

So far I don't see any replies from IBM either explaining their position or disproving the claims.
But don't despair the .NET Core 3.1 driver will be completed this month according to a post in this forum, magically from Alpha to Production state.

So this is the current state of affairs with IBM. IBM and MyCAT Server are the only two that don't support current .NET Core. IBM DB2 is on the same level as MyCAT SERVER!
This is beyond embarrassing.

Yep, even the ORACLE driver is in NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Oracle.ManagedDataAccess/If Oracle can figure it out, surely IBM can, too. Also, the Oracle solution is a pure .NET driver, there's no need for any additional client software, unlike the half-baked IBM driver that has to have the CLI driver installed (and takes 90+ MB). In a world where IBM is pushing containerization, that is far too large a file size for an application dependency. (The Oracle driver package is about 3 mb, by the way, Posgres's NuGet package is about 1.5 MB). ------------------------------ Bryan Hamby ------------------------------

Thanks again. If the DB2 Connect guy controls all of this I can see why IBM wants me to pay an additional $22K just to access the database I already paid for.
For less money I could purchase the entire software package for Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise.
FYI all the other database providers, SQL, MySQL, Oracle, etc... this is included AT NO CHARGE. .NET Core is open-source.

Hi Jeremy. I'm going to let Prem field that one, if you don't mind. I'm the overall Community manager for the Hybrid Data Management community, which includes Db2, and so I'm not familiar with all the details of all the product roadmaps. Prem should be able to answer that one for you.

Thank you Doug. Moving forward, does IBM have any plans to better support Visual Studio, .NET, etc... programming? The slow release and updates has been a problem that has been discussed for years. It's hard to justify paying for DB2 Servers when you can only access the data through limited technologies and you are always 2 versions behind.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

So far I don't see any replies from IBM either explaining their position or disproving the claims.
But don't despair the .NET Core 3.1 driver will be completed this month according to a post in this forum, magically from Alpha to Production state.

I did not receive any messages (I checked the spam mailbox).
I am on the alpha program, but the last time I checked the errors I experienced were still there. And I just looked and all the files are gone from my Alpha folders at myshare.rocketsoftware.com and no beta files.
This has been my constant experience with IBM, just bizarre.

I sent you a message through this forum. Not sure if you had a chance to look at it. Please reply and we can work through this.
There have been multiple customers active on Alpha, now in BETA and to be GA'ed later this month. Feedback is good so far but for some issues that includes a few of yours.
I would be more than happy to work with you on the scenarios you have challenges. Let me know.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

I'd like to be included as well. I've communicated with folks at IBM about this a few years ago, but I haven't seen much come from it. My guess is internally there are funding decisions being made that is probably putting all things .NET on the backlog. It would be interesting to see what plan you have for .NET Core 5 coming out in November of this year. ------------------------------ Mr O. ------------------------------

It took us a long time to find it as well, including a support chat to IBM (which didn't help, and disconnected part way through).
We found it in Parter World, under the following two names (for Linux, there are separate Windows and OS X versions). One uses .net in the name (vs dotnet which was more common for core, though that is changing now), while the other doesn't mention this at all. Note the names do not reference DB2 or Informix (our use case) so unless you knew what it was called, you'll never find it by searching for "db2 .net".

But don't despair the .NET Core 3.1 driver will be completed this month according to a post in this forum, magically from Alpha to Production state.

So this is the current state of affairs with IBM. IBM and MyCAT Server are the only two that don't support current .NET Core. IBM DB2 is on the same level as MyCAT SERVER!
This is beyond embarrassing.

Hi Chris, we will be uploading the next version of Db2 .NET drivers to IBM downloads by 30th of June. Once uploaded I will share the exact details here for everyone's reference. Here is the complete list of v11.5 drivers available for download from IBM downloads including the ones you have indicated. https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/957531Thanks and regards Vishwa ------------------------------ Hosathota Vishwanatha ------------------------------

It took us a long time to find it as well, including a support chat to IBM (which didn't help, and disconnected part way through). We found it in Parter World, under the following two names (for Linux, there are separate Windows and OS X versions). One uses .net in the name (vs dotnet which was more common for core, though that is changing now), while the other doesn't mention this at all. Note the names do not reference DB2 or Informix (our use case) so unless you knew what it was called, you'll never find it by searching for "db2 .net". - IBM Data Server provider for Entity Framework Core 2.0 for Linux on AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems (x64) Multilingual (CC2BRML )

What version will be posted of the EF Core DB2 package?
We are engaging in a project to add support for DB2 in a handful of our applications that use Entity Framework and the 1.3.0.100 version posted on nuget.org were causing some odd SQL to be created. We saw that there is a v2 of this package but I was unable to find it in the IBM Passport Advantage or the Fix Central. Is this the version that is referenced in this thread of a GA of 6/30 for .NET Core 3.1?
If that's the case, where will it posted and what access is required in order to find the download?

Hi Chris,
we will be uploading the next version of Db2 .NET drivers to IBM downloads by 30th of June. Once uploaded I will share the exact details here for everyone's reference.
Here is the complete list of v11.5 drivers available for download from IBM downloads including the ones you have indicated.

It took us a long time to find it as well, including a support chat to IBM (which didn't help, and disconnected part way through). We found it in Parter World, under the following two names (for Linux, there are separate Windows and OS X versions). One uses .net in the name (vs dotnet which was more common for core, though that is changing now), while the other doesn't mention this at all. Note the names do not reference DB2 or Informix (our use case) so unless you knew what it was called, you'll never find it by searching for "db2 .net". - IBM Data Server provider for Entity Framework Core 2.0 for Linux on AMD64 and Intel EM64T systems (x64) Multilingual (CC2BRML )

What version will be posted of the EF Core DB2 package?
We are engaging in a project to add support for DB2 in a handful of our applications that use Entity Framework and the 1.3.0.100 version posted on nuget.org were causing some odd SQL to be created. We saw that there is a v2 of this package but I was unable to find it in the IBM Passport Advantage or the Fix Central. Is this the version that is referenced in this thread of a GA of 6/30 for .NET Core 3.1?
If that's the case, where will it posted and what access is required in order to find the download?

I sent you a message through this forum. Not sure if you had a chance to look at it. Please reply and we can work through this.
There have been multiple customers active on Alpha, now in BETA and to be GA'ed later this month. Feedback is good so far but for some issues that includes a few of yours.
I would be more than happy to work with you on the scenarios you have challenges. Let me know.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

Hi Chris,
we will be uploading the next version of Db2 .NET drivers to IBM downloads by 30th of June. Once uploaded I will share the exact details here for everyone's reference.
Here is the complete list of v11.5 drivers available for download from IBM downloads including the ones you have indicated.

It took us a long time to find it as well, including a support chat to IBM (which didn't help, and disconnected part way through).
We found it in Parter World, under the following two names (for Linux, there are separate Windows and OS X versions). One uses .net in the name (vs dotnet which was more common for core, though that is changing now), while the other doesn't mention this at all. Note the names do not reference DB2 or Informix (our use case) so unless you knew what it was called, you'll never find it by searching for "db2 .net".

What version will be posted of the EF Core DB2 package?
We are engaging in a project to add support for DB2 in a handful of our applications that use Entity Framework and the 1.3.0.100 version posted on nuget.org were causing some odd SQL to be created. We saw that there is a v2 of this package but I was unable to find it in the IBM Passport Advantage or the Fix Central. Is this the version that is referenced in this thread of a GA of 6/30 for .NET Core 3.1?
If that's the case, where will it posted and what access is required in order to find the download?

I sent you a message through this forum. Not sure if you had a chance to look at it. Please reply and we can work through this.
There have been multiple customers active on Alpha, now in BETA and to be GA'ed later this month. Feedback is good so far but for some issues that includes a few of yours.
I would be more than happy to work with you on the scenarios you have challenges. Let me know.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

Hi,
the last version which was uploaded to NuGet was version 1.3.0.100 and after that we have made a release of 2.0.x.x into IBM Passport Advantage (PPA). We also have v2.2 to support .NET Core 2.2 but that is not available in IBM downloads since .NET Core 2.2 went out of support quickly. By next week we will upload next version of Db2 .NET Core which is v3.1 into IBM downloads.
Thanks and regards

What version will be posted of the EF Core DB2 package?
We are engaging in a project to add support for DB2 in a handful of our applications that use Entity Framework and the 1.3.0.100 version posted on nuget.org were causing some odd SQL to be created. We saw that there is a v2 of this package but I was unable to find it in the IBM Passport Advantage or the Fix Central. Is this the version that is referenced in this thread of a GA of 6/30 for .NET Core 3.1?
If that's the case, where will it posted and what access is required in order to find the download?

I sent you a message through this forum. Not sure if you had a chance to look at it. Please reply and we can work through this.
There have been multiple customers active on Alpha, now in BETA and to be GA'ed later this month. Feedback is good so far but for some issues that includes a few of yours.
I would be more than happy to work with you on the scenarios you have challenges. Let me know.

Hope you saw my posting thats above yours. Duplicating it for your reference.

IBM is targeting .NET 5 supported driver by Dec 2020. We are actively working on it and if things go well, we might be able to see a pre-release version of driver working on the .NET preview soon. I will keep the community updated of the timeline as soon as we have one.Also, I would create a new thread for .NET 5 related discussion.

Though there have been a few gaps in the recent past, we have corrected them in quick time. We continue to put our best efforts to stay on current. ------------------------------ Premkumar Swaminathan ------------------------------

Last March I stared with the Alpha version of .net v3.1 IBM client and immediately encountered an issue that would not allow me to use that version, I reported the issue and waited almost 2 months and there was no reply or info from IBM. I complained in this forum and was offered the Beta version of the same client. Immediately I encountered another issue which was verified by IBM but this time I had a workaround that allowed me to use the library and again I have not heard anything about the fix or any other updates. Here they are saying they will be releasing the GA version of the client any day now and they have not offered the fixed version of the product to the people who found an issue beforehand. So is it fixed or not? Keep in mind maybe all of the bugs have been fixed and tested, but wouldn't you think IBM would want as many people as possible to test the product especially the ones that encountered and reported the bugs?
So I guess you will have to make up your own mind on the timely availability of .NET 5 client. But don't expect any communication from IBM. #Db2

Hi Peter, In the last month or so since I was made aware of your concerns, this thread has been engaged by IBMers Prem Swaminathan, Michael Connor, and myself, as well as Hosathota Vishwanatha of Rocket. We've provided updates about new releases and reports of issues including a problem at the Microsoft rather than the IBM end. Your specific issues have been reported on to the product team by Prem and Michael for review and consideration. There's also been considerable product discussion on this thread. I absolutely understand your frustration and weariness at waiting; I'm not a bonehead. I've worked in development, support, and QA my own self. And please understand that we're engaged. You have the attention of four people on this thread. Have you taken the opportunity to reach out to Prem, Michael, or Hoshathota through the community contact system? If not, please give it a try; just click their bio link and send them a message, and you can message them directly. Perhaps that might work better for you.

I have not seen any updates about any of the issues, there was one mention of the problem regarding Microsoft which said that's not your fault but that was it and only after I asked about it. How about providing a fix, it's open source? And for some reason, only DB2 has that issue, but I don't know the issue so maybe that can only be fixed by Microsoft. The first issue I reported was when I was on Alpha version and I never received any info that it was fixed nor any requests to test the fix or a link to a fixed version, same with Beta version, nothing. The Beta version issue you said was a Microsoft issue, but how about providing a link to the issue, how about telling us about the issue or you just want everyone to struggle and find the problem on their own, how about documenting a workaround, or you just let everyone struggle to see how far they get - very funny? You said "And please understand that we're engaged." since when, today? Because I don't see it, I just see you ignoring us - two months waiting for a response and getting a response only after asking for it is not being engaged. Can you imagine customers begging for Alpha and Beta versions and IBM says "I don't think so"? Then you finally release the production version and people can't find it because you did not provide a link just some name that IBM thinks everybody should know. The link was provided only after people could not find it. But as long as you guys are engaged. #Db2

So I guess you will have to make up your own mind on the timely availability of .NET 5 client. But don't expect any communication from IBM.

"Since IBM will be releasing v3.1 either today or tomorrow, what will be the release schedule for the next version supporting .NET 5? Microsoft will be releasing .NET 5 in November which is only 5 months away and they have had a preview for developers like IBM available since March. So just curious how IBM plans on staying current with the .NET releases moving forward?"
I am also very interested to know if a project is already in flight at IBM with a goal to release a new version with .NET 5 support at or shortly after launch in November.

Hi,
the last version which was uploaded to NuGet was version 1.3.0.100 and after that we have made a release of 2.0.x.x into IBM Passport Advantage (PPA). We also have v2.2 to support .NET Core 2.2 but that is not available in IBM downloads since .NET Core 2.2 went out of support quickly. By next week we will upload next version of Db2 .NET Core which is v3.1 into IBM downloads.
Thanks and regards

What version will be posted of the EF Core DB2 package?
We are engaging in a project to add support for DB2 in a handful of our applications that use Entity Framework and the 1.3.0.100 version posted on nuget.org were causing some odd SQL to be created. We saw that there is a v2 of this package but I was unable to find it in the IBM Passport Advantage or the Fix Central. Is this the version that is referenced in this thread of a GA of 6/30 for .NET Core 3.1?
If that's the case, where will it posted and what access is required in order to find the download?

I sent you a message through this forum. Not sure if you had a chance to look at it. Please reply and we can work through this.
There have been multiple customers active on Alpha, now in BETA and to be GA'ed later this month. Feedback is good so far but for some issues that includes a few of yours.
I would be more than happy to work with you on the scenarios you have challenges. Let me know.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

Perm has responded at least 10 times about the Fixed issue or link to the Beta? I don't think so. Show me one that was sent before I asked for it multiple times. I had no issues whatsoever reporting the problems and I got responses to the original posts, it's the followup responses to those problems I have issues with or lack them of. I don't think I should keep checking the messaging if they don't bother to update me. Have you ever tried using the messaging from the Internet, it's slow as molasses, you can't even type because it's 2 strokes behind. I don't have the same issues with Outlook or Gmail. So in Alpha and Beta versions, you want me to report a problem when I find one and then keep checking for a response and if I don't get one I should email through messaging? #Db2

Hosathota,
Today's date is July, 21, 2020 and still no sign of support for IBM.EntityFrameworkCore on .NET CORE 3.1.
I have been checking on the updates since IBM has posted that it will be available on June, 2020.
I am currently using the following version, IBM.EntityFrameworkCore 1.3.0.100 that is the only version available and compatible with EFCore 2.2.
Please provide concrete information on how to proceed forward using Nuget Package manager in order to obtain the latest version that would be compatible with EFCore 3.1.
Best Regards,
Mohammed Benslimane

Hi,
the last version which was uploaded to NuGet was version 1.3.0.100 and after that we have made a release of 2.0.x.x into IBM Passport Advantage (PPA). We also have v2.2 to support .NET Core 2.2 but that is not available in IBM downloads since .NET Core 2.2 went out of support quickly. By next week we will upload next version of Db2 .NET Core which is v3.1 into IBM downloads.
Thanks and regards

What version will be posted of the EF Core DB2 package?
We are engaging in a project to add support for DB2 in a handful of our applications that use Entity Framework and the 1.3.0.100 version posted on nuget.org were causing some odd SQL to be created. We saw that there is a v2 of this package but I was unable to find it in the IBM Passport Advantage or the Fix Central. Is this the version that is referenced in this thread of a GA of 6/30 for .NET Core 3.1?
If that's the case, where will it posted and what access is required in order to find the download?

Hi wanted to confirm Prem's statement about planned GA late this month of the .NET Core 3.1 driver. Also wanted to follow up with those on this discussion that we recognize we need to do better re MS support and timelines. I know both prem and I would welcome a discussion in person with those interested to discuss your experiences and roadmaps.

I sent you a message through this forum. Not sure if you had a chance to look at it. Please reply and we can work through this.
There have been multiple customers active on Alpha, now in BETA and to be GA'ed later this month. Feedback is good so far but for some issues that includes a few of yours.
I would be more than happy to work with you on the scenarios you have challenges. Let me know.

It's astonishing that there is no any kind of response from IBM to these comments. But I guess their part-time developer does not have time to read these comments not to mention respond to them. I guess it's time to find a different tool to access DB2 data or if you are in a position to find a different database.

But don't despair the .NET Core 3.1 driver will be completed this month according to a post in this forum, magically from Alpha to Production state.

I guess IBM figured out how to get around the "export restrictions" that Microsoft, Oracle and hundreds of others never had an issue with. The Nuget packages are now posted. ------------------------------ Jeremy Bowling ------------------------------

Please vote up the nuget request I submited in Dec 2019 here: https://ibm-data-and-ai.ideas.aha.io/ideas/DB2CON-I-50
It seems strange to me that IBM keeps saying this is an issue due to export compliance in face of the following:
1. Does that mean microsoft, Oracle, MySQL, etc are in export compliance violation???
2. IBM still has the old drivers posted. So how is it the old drivers don't suffer from the same "export compliance" issue?
My 2 cents.

Peter,
Thank you for the clarification. I'm going to go ahead and try it the way you suggested.
Unfortunately, IBM seems to always make things more difficult. They already have a nugget package for IBM.EntityframeworkCore v1.3.0.100. Why can't they just push an update through the Nugget package repository and make it easier for their users !
I hope they can fix this by providing an update through Nugget repository.

RE: Using Entity Framework (EF) with .NET Core 3.1

Add EF to your project: First, you need to add the EF NuGet package to your project. You can do this by opening the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio or by adding the following line to your project's .csproj file:
xml
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="3.1.0" />
</ItemGroup>
Create a DbContext: Next, you'll need to create a DbContext class that represents your database. This class will contain DbSet properties for each table in your database, and you can use LINQ queries to interact with these tables. Here's an example of a simple DbContext class:
csharp
public class MyDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Customer> Customers { get; set; }
public DbSet<Order> Orders { get; set; }
protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer("your-connection-string-here");
}
}
Use the DbContext in your code: Once you have your DbContext, you can use it in your code to interact with the database. Here's an example of adding a new customer to the Customers table:
csharp
using (var db = new MyDbContext())
{
var customer = new Customer { Name = "John Doe" };
db.Customers.Add(customer);
db.SaveChanges();
}
