This is the location of the most up-to-date version of the unofficial DB2 Schema Provider for CodeSmith 3.x.  This provider uses IBM's DB2 provider for .NET.  Obviously, you will need to have the IBM DB2 client software installed prior to use.
 
The source and the compiled binary are attached in separate ZIP files to this message.  To "install" the provider, just copy the following files (from the binaries zip) to your C:\Program Files\CodeSmith\v3.0\SchemaProviders (or equivalent) folder:

  • SchemaExplorer.Db2SchemaProvider.dll
  • SchemaExplorer.Db2SchemaProvider.dll.config

Many of the features available in the Oracle Schema Provider are available in this DB2 version since they share the same basic source code.  Unfortunately, I don't have the time to fully document the specifics of this library.  For example, many of the same CS_* extended properties are available, and there is support for the CODESMITH_EXTENDED_PROPERTIES table for use with your templates.

Also, the config file is simple and well documented.  You should review this before actually using the provider just to know what options are available to you that control some of the provider's behavior.

Enjoy,
Geoff McElhanon

I have copied the files into the directory as indicated but the provider does not appear in the drop-down of available provider types. How do I rectify this?

I updated the download with binaries for CodeSmith 3.1 and 3.2.

The drop-down list shows an exception when I run CodeSmith v 3.2 after having dropped these two files into the SchemaProvider directory. It's a cast conversion exception (trying to case the DB2 provider to an interface type). Any suggestions?

Hi - Has anyone got any example of a connection string that works? I just can't seem to get a datasource setup connecting to my DB2 database...

Does anyone know where I can get ahold of a mainframe DB2 schema provider, so I can use .netTiers with this (as opposed to the Windows version of DB2)?
