IBM_DB gem updated to 0.9.0

Please update your ibm_db ruby gem to the latest version available (0.9.0). From command line run: gem update ibm_db. This fixes an ibm_db 0.8.5 driver incompatibility with the DB2 CLI 9.1 (FixPack 3 and lower), and also addresses a previous issue with the driver crashing on Windows Vista.

    Hi bouaiss,

    could you please try to remove and reinstall the ibm_db gem? If this doesn’t help, please install ibm_db v0.8.0:

    gem uninstall ibm_db
gem install ibm_db -v 0.8.0

    Thanks,
    Antonio

    I have tried reinstalling the 0.9.0 version but it still load. Btw I’m running vista and the 0.8.0 version crashes with segmentation fault.

    Since the release notes mentioned about a fix for the crashes in vista I had high hopes for the this 0.9 one :)

    Thx for the help

    Hi bouaiss,

    this issue is being actively investigated as you can read in the IBM_DB Rubyforge forum. Stay tuned as I will post any updates in this blog.

    Cheers,

    Hi bouaiss,

    You may want to give another try using MS tool for configuring VC8 runtime (vcredist_x86.exe) as described in the forum post. That seems to be fixing this issue on a few Windows XP test machines, and should work on Vista also.

    It will install some Visual C++ 2005 additions (Microsoft.VC80.CRT and Microsoft.VC80.MFC) required for any libraries built with VC8 compiler. As an alternative you can use DB2 9.5 Runtime Client (or any edition above that), which will provide the necessary VC8 runtime shared assemblies.

    Hi,

    Are there any updates on the adapter issues?

    I’m still experiencing the segfault on 0.8.0 and the side-by-side error with 0.9.0, with DB2 Express-C 9.5, Windows Vista.

    Thanks!
