First I downloaded the VMware and Redhat 6.5 on my 64bit Windows machine, created virtual machine, set the network and host as needed.
Downloaded the db2 LUW 11.1 AMD64 for Linux, winscp the product to the redhat, unzip and tar -vxf the product.
But when I am checking the ./db2_prereqchk its fails, conveying that certan packages are not there to install the product.
Where can I download a trial version for Windows? Is anyone aware of an emulator online or cloud offer where DB2 can be practiced?
You can download trial versions of DB2 LUW at the IBM website. For testing DB2 online I would recommend to check out dashDB on IBM Bluemix. There are also Docker images available for DB2 Express-C, the free edition of DB2. So overall plenty of options.

I am actually planning to have a PostgreSQL instance on rhel7 linux vm running on google cloud platform,
Can you let me know the process for the same.
One more query is it ok to install postgresql on vm rather than going for a cloud sql instance on gcp?
Thanks,
Moin.
Just go to the PostgresSQL official downloads page for redhat and install the software.
You can get the RPMs there if you need to do an air-gapped installation.
You'll need to configure postgres later. See Posgres docs Chapter 18. Server Setup and Operation.
i installed SQL Developer on my MacBook
when i tried to run the sql code it says must create new connection
it required username/password
so how can i solve this
before i was using oracle database XE 12 on windows 10
but now i am using macOS and i see i cant use this software anymore (oracle database XE 12)
so i tried to install SQL Developer
Oracle SQL Developer is a tool that lets you connect to an (Oracle) database. But - you have to have the database as well (apparently, there's none on your Mac).
Express Edition database you previously used on Windows 10 was (probably) 11g (not 12; it doesn't exist), but it woks on Windows an Linux - not macOS.
Moreover, none of the modern Oracle databases can be installed on Mac; the last one was, I think, 10g (but - as it is out of support, you can't even download it any more).
Therefore, you could install a virtual machine on Mac, put Windows OS onto it, download and install 11gXE along with SQL Developer and use it.
But, why bother? Install VirtualBox and then download one of Pre-Built Developer VMs (for Oracle VM VirtualBox).
I installed IBM DB2 Enterprise Server Edition Version 9.7
window is not opening so because of this I couldn't able to create a sample database.
Is there any way to manually download the sample database & connect to DB2?
Try the command db2sampl and start reading some basic documentation.
I have downloaded the DB2 ODBC client for Windows on x86, and found out that it's a .zip containing a tree of files. I found no instruction wheresoever on:
what to do with these files
how to subsequently register the ODBC driver.
Would anyone know?
This seems to be a common problem, as evidenced at How to install DB2 ODBC or OLEDB Driver where someone got the ZIP files but had no instructions on how to install them.
http://www.ryslander.com/how-to-install-and-configure-db2-odbc-driver/ has instructions with screenshots on how to install the driver, including registering it.
I want to upgrade database postgresql from version 8.3 to 9.0 on Jira application.
Which RPM should be used to work with Suse SLES10.3 64bit?
How to install Postgresql 9.0 in parallel to Postgresql 8.1?
The best bet to find packages for SUSE distributions is the openSUSE Build Service. The direct links there are a bit of a pain, so please look for yourself.
Parallel installation of multiple major PostgreSQL versions is not yet possible using SUSE RPMs. If you need to do that, you will probably need to build from source.
