+
+Enabling Usage of Parameterized Queries with Ruby-on-Rails / Activerecord applications
+======================================================================================
+	To enable usage of parameterized SQL queries with Ruby-on-Rails/ActiveRecord applications, in your connection configuration (database.yml), set "parameterized" to true. By default "parameterized" is false (if not specified). A sample database.yml file showing development section with parameterized queries enabled looks as below
+
+development:
+  adapter:     ibm_db
+  username:    db2inst1
+  password:    secret
+  database:    devdb
+  #schema:      db2inst1
+  #host:        localhost
+  #port:        50000
+  #account:     my_account
+  #app_user:    my_app_user
+  #application: my_application
+  #workstation: my_workstation
+  parameterized: true
+
+Similarly for the other sections (test/production) of the database.yml file set "parameterized" to true to enable usage of parameterized SQL queries

+README for the IBM_DB Adapter (2.5.14) and Driver (2.5.14) (2014/02/11)
+For ActiveRecord Version >= 1.15.5 (and Rails >= 1.2.5)
+=====================================================================
+
+Supported Operating Systems 
+============================
+  - Linux 32/64 bit
+  - Microsoft Windows 32 bit
+  - IBM AIX 32/64 bit
+  - HP-UX 32/64 bit
+  - Sun Solaris 32/64 bit
+
+
+Supported Databases
+====================
+  - IBM DB2 Universal Database on Linux/Unix/Windows versions 9 Fixpak2 and above
+  - Remote connections to IBM DB2 Universal Database on i5/OS versions V5R3 and V5R4. 
+    Please ensure PTF SI27358 (includes SI27250) is installed in i5/OS version 5R3 and
+    and PTF SI27256 is installed while using i5/OS version 5R4.
+  - Remote connections to IBM DB2 Universal Database on z/OS version 8, 9 and 10

+
+
+Installing the IBM_DB adapter and driver as a Ruby gem
+=======================================================
+The IBM_DB gem is an ActiveRecord adapter. Installing the IBM_DB adapter and driver as a gem enables any application in the
+Ruby environment, including Rails, to interact with IBM data servers.
+
+Note : -	1)	If using activerecord version below 2.0 then it requires that the ibm_db adapter be registered with the list of connection adapters by manually adding ibm_db at line 77 (approx) in the file activerecord.rb (GEM_HOME\activerecord-<version>\lib\). 
+
+		    2)	The IBM_DB driver can also be built separately (from source) and used in direct API calls.
+
+1. Windows platforms:
+=====================
+  INSTALL (as Ruby gem)
+   To remove previous gem version (optionally):
+    D:\>gem uninstall ibm_db
+    Successfully uninstalled ibm_db version 1.0.0
+
+  Example:
+    D:\>gem install ibm_db
+    Fetching: ibm_db-2.5.9-x86-mingw32.gem (100%)
+    Successfully installed ibm_db-2.5.9-x86-mingw32
+    1 gem installed
+    Installing ri documentation for ibm_db-2.5.9-x86-mingw32...
+    Installing RDoc documentation for ibm_db-2.5.9-x86-mingw32...
+    
+    Note:
+    	1) Currently Ruby-2.0 64-bit version on Windows is not supported as there are issues related to SQL definitions with the mingW compiler 
+    			[Details can be found here https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/2041/ ]. 
+    		Support will be enabled after the abive reported issue is resolved.
+    
+    	2)The manual step after install if using activerecord version below 2.0:
+         add ibm_db into GEM_HOME\1.8\gems\activerecord-1.15.3\lib\active_record.rb (Line 77)
+
+2. Linux and Unix platforms:
+============================
+
+  INSTALL (as Ruby gem)
+    To remove previous gem version (optionally):
+    $ gem uninstall ibm_db
+    Successfully uninstalled ibm_db version 0.6.0
+
+   Note: DB2 environment is required while using an arbitrary user account
+         (other than the DB2 install user account)
+   $ . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
+   $ export IBM_DB_HOME=DB2HOME (eg. /home/db2inst1/sqllib or /opt/ibm/db2/v9.5)
+   $ gem install ibm_db
+     Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
+     Successfully installed ibm_db-2.5.9
+     1 gem installed
+     Installing ri documentation for ibm_db-2.5.9...
+     Installing RDoc documentation for ibm_db-2.5.9...
+
+  BUILD (optionally) ibm_db gem  from sources (ibm_db-x.x.x.tar.gz):
+  1. Download source from Rubyforge
+     http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2361
+  2. Build gem from specification (IBM_DB.gemspec)
+     $ cd IBM_DB_Adapter/ibm_db
+     $ gem build IBM_DB.gemspec
+
+   Note: The manual step after install if using activerecord version below 2.0:
+         add ibm_db into GEM_HOME\1.8\gems\activerecord-1.15.3\lib\active_record.rb (Line 77)
+
+TEST (simple gem install verification)
+======================================
+   $ rails new myApp -d ibm_db
+   $ cd myApp      
+   $ rails generate scaffold Wood name:string price:float
+   $ vi config/database.yml
+   $ rake db:migrate
+   $ rails console #rails server
+   
+Instructions for building and installing the IBM_DB driver from source
+=======================================================================
+Building the driver manually as described below is not required if the install
+process above has been pursued. This manual procedure is in fact automated
+on Linux and UNIX platforms by the IBM_DB gem install, but is presented
+here only for reference.
+
+ Prerequisites:
+  Install Ruby from:
+    http://rubyforge.org
+
+  Setup the environment
+  
+    Linux and Unix platforms:
+     Note: commands may vary depending on the shell used
+      - To setup DB2 environment while using an arbitrary user account
+        (other than the DB2 install user account):
+        Example:
+          $ . /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
+
+      - To compile and link with DB2 client libraries:
+         $ export IBM_DB_HOME=DB2HOME (eg. /home/db2inst1/sqllib or /opt/ibm/db2/v9.5)
+
+    Windows platforms:
+      - Set ruby devkit environment:
+      - To compile and link with DB2 client libraries:
+         $ set IBM_DB_HOME=DB2HOME (eg. C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB)
+    
+  Build the driver:
+    - $ cd rubyibm_source/IBM_DB_Adapter/ibm_db/ext

+Running tests
+=============
+Testing the IBM_DB Adapter
+
+1) a) Copy the files under test directory of ibm_db gem to the test directory of Activerecord following the same directory structure. 
+	These files contain modifications in some test files of AR suite to handle ibm_db specifics. Hence make sure these files are replaced in the AR test suite properly.
+   b) Rename warhouse-things.yml to warehouse_things.yml under fixtures directory
+2) Edit the Rakefile to include ibm_db in list of adapters
+	%w( mysql mysql2 postgresql sqlite3 sqlite3_mem firebird db2 oracle sybase openbase ibm_db frontbase jdbcmysql jdbcpostgresql jdbcsqlite3 jdbcderby jdbch2 jdbchsqldb )
+3) Configure the connection information in test/config.yml for ibm_db
+4) run the test suite - rake test_ibm_db
+
+Running IBM_DB driver test suite
+
+1) Copy over the test directory under source to lib directory of installed ibm_db under $GEM_HOME
+2) Edit config.yml file to provide database connection information
+3) Run the test suite
+	$ rake onlytests
+4) To run single test
+	export SINGLE_RUBY_TEST=<test file name> #Eg: export SINGLE_RUBY_TEST=test_000_PrepareDb.rb
+	rake onlytests
+
+Limitations and known problems
+==============================
+ - ActiveRecord remove_column method is not supported for DB2 zOS
+ - The driver returns an error when you try to insert a TIMESTAMP value into a DATE column. 
+   To fix this, please ensure that the following configuration keyword PATCH2=58 is set 
+   in the COMMON section of your DB2 CLI initialization file (db2cli.ini):
+    - set: db2 UPDATE CLI CFG FOR SECTION COMMON USING PATCH2 58
+    - verify: db2 GET CLI CFG FOR SECTION COMMON
+   Please refer to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.apdv.cli.doc/doc/c0007882.htm
+   for more information.
+ - The behaviour of ActiveRecord::Base.find(:first) without an :order attribute can be unpredictable.
+   The first record (i.e. the record with the minimum id) may be not retrieved. In a relational model,
+   the order of the rows returned is unpredictable and independent of the order of insertion.
+   This issue may be addressed in a future release. 
+ - Rails applications on DB2 9 require the APPLHEAPSZ database configuration parameter to be
+   set to or above 1024. You will need to set this parameter for each database for which you will be
+   running DB2 on Rails applications. Following is the command syntax for updating the
+   applheapsz parameter:
+     > db2 update db cfg for <database_name> using APPLHEAPSZ 1024
+   To enable this parameter, you need to restart your DB2 instance.
+ - If you see connectivity issues with Informix Dynamic Server, please ensure that the server is configured to accept DRDA connections.
+   Please refer to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v111/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.admin.doc/admin154.htm for more information.
+ - IBM_DB is not supported on JRuby. As stated in the JRuby Wiki, "Basics of Getting JRuby Running":
+   'You may install other gems, but keep in mind that libraries with C extension dependencies 
+   will not work in JRuby.' http://www.headius.com/jrubywiki/index.php/Getting_Started
+   The IBM_DB adapter relies on IBM_DB driver (C extension) and the IBM Driver for ODBC and
+   CLI to access databases on IBM data servers. Alternatively, you can either use the regular C
+   implementation of Ruby, or use ActiveRecord-JDBC adapter to access databases.
+ - When using ActiveRecord-2.1.0 it requires that ActiveRecord be patched, with the patch in the link below:
+ 		http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/attachments/26975/association_preloading.diff
+ 	The patch is required because, ActiveRecord 2.1.0 generates a non-standard SQL identifier,while preloading has_and_belongs_to_many associations,
+ 	which standard compliant databases like DB2 do not support. The bug report, against ActiveRecord, can be found in the link below
+ 		http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/394-patch-fixed-non-standard-sql-generated-by-preloading-has_and_belongs_to_many-associations
+ - The following tests from the ActiveRecord 2.1.0 test suite with ibm_db gem 0.10.0 are expected to fail on DB2 LUW
+ 	- test_read_attributes_before_type_cast_on_datetime
+ 	- test_to_xml
+ 	- test_native_types
+ 	- test_counting
+ 	- test_counting_with_column_name_and_hash
+ 	- test_counting_with_empty_hash_conditions
+ 	- test_counting_with_single_conditions
+ 	- test_counting_with_single_hash
+ 	Note :- 1)	The test cases from HasManyAssociations (4-8) above are found failing only when run as part of
+ 			the complete suite. However they pass when run standalone.
+ 		2)	Also there are two test cases (test_validate_uniqueness_with_non_standard_table_names, test_update_all_with_non_standard_table_name)which run against table with non-standard name. Given that DB2/IDS is standard compliant these test cases are expected to fail.
+ 			To have these test cases passing rename the fixtures file warehouse-things to warehouse_things.
+ - Usage with Rails-3.0.3/Rails-3.0.4
+	- To use with Rails-3.0.3/4 patch latest Arel with the patch available at https://gist.github.com/814491
+	
+Unicode Support
+===============
+  - Available only with Ruby version 1.9 and above
+  - Data returned from the driver will be in UTF8 encoding format.
+  - The input data to the driver can be in any Ruby supported encoding format.
+
+To Do
+====
+ - Support ActiveRecord remove_column method for DB2 zOS version 9
