IBM driver for the DB2 database

DB2 Personal Developer's Edition: Redistributable JDBC Type 4

Note: The IBM drivers support both Type 2 (native) and Type 4 (pure Java). To force the drivers to run in Type 4, add a property:
driverType = 4 when connecting to the database. Note2: To execute application, copy db2jcct2.dll or similar to the application server
classpath. For Glassfish that would be $GLASSFISH_INSTALL_DIR\domains\domain1\lib
