 ===== Description =====
 This driver provides a connection to IBM DB2 Databases, using the IBM Data Client. This driver replaces the original [[v5:database:odbc#odbc_db2|DB2 ODBC]] driver.

 The DB2 database must be catalogued for a connection like this to work.
 </WRAP>
+==== Building a catalog entry ====
+This is a simple example building a catalogued connection from a windows client to a remote DB2 server running on a machine named adodb-db2.local. The server is running on port 25010. We will add a DSN entry called //**adodb-test**//
+<code>
+db2cli writecfg add -database SAMPLE -host adodb-db2.local -port 25010
+db2cli writecfg add -dsn adodb-test -database SAMPLE -host adodb-db2.local -port 25010
+</code>
+To use this DSN
 <code php>
 include '../adodb/adodb.inc.php';
-$database = 'SAMPLE';
+$dsn = 'adodb-test';
 $user = 'db2inst1';
 $password = 'instance';
 $conn = ADOnewConnection('db2');
-$conn->connect($database, $user, $password);
+$conn->connect($dsn, $user, $password);

 This driver provides undocumented bind variable mapping from ibm to oracle.The functionality appears to overlap the db2_oci driver
