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 an old application handling data on a DB2 server (Linux version, 9.7 express-c) and I need to upgrade the server. I searched on the IBM site and I found that the last "free" version (11.5) is the only one available, but I cannot restore a backup taken from a 9.7 directly into the 11.5.
Is there any other way instead of using db2look and db2move?
Do anyone know if it's possible to find the 11.1 developer Linux version?
You can download the server-fixpack via https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6427871
( IBM registration is required ),
This is an indirect way to IBM passport advantage website. It's important to choose the "DB2 Server Fix Pack" as distinct from other images. It is wise to always download the most recent fixpack for the release when using the Server-Fixpack, these fixpacks are cumulative and do not require the base version to be preinstalled.
You can get a trial license with it and just do the intermediate restore (from the v9.7 backup-image into a disposable Db2 v11.1 instance, then backup that database offline and copy the image to a place accessible to your Db2 v11.5 new instance.
You can then drop the v11.1 db2instance, and uninstall the Db2 v11.1 product.
Finally restore that Db2 v11.1 backup image into your Db2 v11.5 instance. This will upgrade the database to the Db2 v11.5 release, consider running db2updv115 afterwards, and revalidating all objects with SYSPROC.ADMIN_REVALIDATE_DB_OBJECTS etc.
Whether the above indirect method is quicker (or easier) than using db2move to export and load, will depend on the complexity of your database. Worth checking...if your Db2 v9.7 instance is still running of course.
Other methods are possible, if you want to spend $$ on recovery tools that extract data from backup images.
I trying to connect to DB2 database through SQL Developer. I followed following steps create connection:
1. Open SQL Developer
2. Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > Third Party JDBC Drivers.
3. I added third-party JDBC driver path entries (db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar)
As soon as I try to create connection I get below error
Oracle SQL-Developer Version 17.2 works fine for me with Db2 Version 11 for Linux x64 and I am using a recent Type-4 jdbc (db2jcc4.jar) driver from IBM.
You question shows that your Db2 jdbc driver version is very old (Version 9.7 fixpack 5) and out of support, so you should upgrade to the latest available Db2 client for your (unspecified) operating-system. Also you should ensure you are using the latest release of the Oracle-SQL-Developer for your operating system.
As your question gives no facts about your versions of Oracle or Db2 products or operating systems, this is the best advice that is possible.
I got the same problem, it turned out SQL Developer doesn't display tables for DB2, but still allows to perform SQL queries. If you know table names, you will be able to select data from those tables if you have enough permissions to do so.
You can test ability to perform SQL queries by selecting DB2 version (SQL below is valid for DB2 12.0)
SELECT GETVARIABLE('SYSIBM.VERSION') AS VERSION FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1;
Make sure you don't forget to specify schema while selecting data from your tables!
select * from schema.table_name;
Is there any tool similar to Oracle SQL Developer for DB2?
I found tool called DB2 Connect but there is no free edition for personal use.
I need to use it for DB2 Express edition for Linux and Windows.
I downloaded what I believe to be the latest copy of Dreamfactory for Windows from Bitnami bitnami-dreamfactory-1.8.2-0-windows-installer.exe. I would like to connect to an IBM DB2 remote database. In using the Admin Console I don't see an option in the SQL Vendor dropdown for IBM DB2. Did I miss a configuration step? If not, what do I need to do to configure IBM DB2 as a Remote SQL DB? I can't seem to find a reference in the documentation for how to do this.
Update
I just installed the Bitnami Ubuntu vmware appliance and it has a DB2 dropdown. Therefore, there is a flaw in the Windows 1.8.2 self installer.
With a quick test of the windows installer, we did confirm the DB2 value is in the dropdown menu. Please try to refresh the window frame or clear browser cache to see if that helps.
Also, the Bitnami package released for 1.8.2 currently doesn't have the db2 driver installed by default. We are working on getting another build that has better default setup. In the mean time, this link has the Windows instructions. I will try to get a more detailed instruction set for Windows.
I have a php project developed up on Ubuntu Intel 64 Bit machine. It uses the DB2 as database. Now client going to deploy it on IBM I Series Server. So I gave him exported Schema (by db2look command).
db2look -d MYDATABASE -a -e -o mydatabase.sql
But he have problem in importing As exported schema have some keyword not supported on DB2 IBM version. He point out on octets keyword. But definitely more could be there. So he want us to convert our schema to some MySQL or ANSI Mode. But I did not found any tutorial to convert DB2 schema or change Mode.
I am very new to DB2, Any all my DB exposure to MySQL database only. If anybody have idea about this ?
IBM has a manual

Are you using Zend for your PHP by chance?
Zend is supported on the IBM i:
http://www.zend.com/en/solutions/modernize-ibm-i
Also Zend picked up the slack when MySQL support for IBM i was dropped by Oracle
http://www.zend.com/en/solutions/modernize-ibm-i/ibm-i-product/dbi
Zend's DBi product includes the IBMDB2I storage engine allowing php/MySQL apps to run on the IBM i and utilize DB2 for i as the database.
