Apologies for the delay in response. Please check https://www.nuget.org/packages/IBM.Data.DB2.Core/
IBM has resumed updating NuGet and we will have NuGet as the primary delivery platform going fwd.
Thanks.
Delivered where tho? Nuget hasn't been updated since 2018? Is there somewhere else to get this update because I'm building an Blazor app and have to be able to talk to DB2.
This has been delivered as of June 30, 2020.
.NET 5 support is being looked into and its being planned for Dec 2020 delivery.
The timeframe on this is far too long. .NET Core 5 is already in preview, and IBM does not even have a driver for .NET Core 3.1
.NET Core 2 is already out of support (except for 2.1, which was the LTS release for 2.x): https://dotnet.microsoft.com/platform/support/policy/dotnet-core, so IBM is really making it very tough for businesses to keep up-to-date.
Basically, if a business wants to use newer technologies (or even a supported version of .NET Core), they're out of luck with IBM. And I have a feeling more people are going to be dropping DB2 than they would drop a language their developers are comfortable with. Especially with the high licensing costs of DB2. Obviously SQL Server is going to have day-one support in .NET, and even open-source databases like Postgres or MySQL are releasing pre-release drivers for .NET Core 5 already.
It's somewhat embarassing how far behind this is.
Hi
Db2 Connect team is actively working on this and plan to ship this item [.NET Core 3.1] by June 2020.
Hi guys! There is a thread that has some news about this implementation of IBM.DB2.EFCore 3.X ...
Here is a link: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/hybriddatamanagement/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=7be8e033-4c24-4de6-b52c-3db1647afe53&CommunityKey=ea909850-39ea-4ac4-9512-8e2eb37ea09a&tab=digestviewer&reply-inline=7be8e033-4c24-4de6-b52c-3db1647afe53&SuccessMsg=Thank%20you%20for%20submitting%20your%20message
Please add support
This issue isn't specific for Blazor. All .Net 3.x stack is getting this problem when trying to use the provider
How long does this usually take? Please work on 3.1 EF support.
Thank you!
For those of you waiting on this and are able to install additional dependencies, I'd recommend using IBM.Data.DB2.Core along with Dapper - Dapper doesn't offer the exact functionalities of EF Core, but it'll allow you to use DB2 with .NET Core 3.x and still have entity mapping
Very disappointing to find this hasn't even been looked at. .NET Core 3.x has been out for 6 months at this point, all major competing platforms have their .NET libraries updated to work with the latest LTS (3.1)
Please IBM, you need to address this to stay relevant.
Would love to know if this is being looked at...
Any news on this yet?
IBM falling behind the times?
Any news?
Any news on this? .NET 3.1 has been released for awhile now and is a LTS (Long Term Servicing) branch. When can we expect support since we are paying for DB2 Connect maintenance?
