Runtime Configuration
The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.
Here's a short explanation of
the configuration directives.
-
ibm_db2.binmode
int
-
This option controls the mode used for converting to and from binary
data in the PHP application.
-
1 (DB2_BINARY)
-
2 (DB2_CONVERT)
-
3 (DB2_PASSTHRU)
-
ibm_db2.i5_all_pconnect
int
-
This option forces all connections to be persistent on IBM i.
Basically, all db2_connect calls transparently become
db2_pconnect calls.
By default, this option is 0 .
This option is provided as a convenience for cases where persistent
connections are faster.
It should not be used in new applications.
-
ibm_db2.i5_allow_commit
int
-
This option controls the transaction isolation mode used.
By default, this option is 0 , so commitment control isn't used.
This option can be overriden when connecting if the array key
i5_commit is set in the connection options array
passed to db2_connect or
db2_pconnect.
-
0 - commitment control is not used
-
1 - read uncommitted, dirty reads possible.
-
2 - read committed, dirty reads are not possible.
-
3 - repeatable read, dirty reads and non-repeatable reads are not possible
-
4 - serializeable, dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantoms are not possible
-
ibm_db2.i5_blank_userid
int
-
This controls if a blank user ID should be allowed on IBM i.
By default, this option is 0 .
Unlike ibm_db2.i5_ignore_userid , this option
doesn't force all user IDs to be empty or change job behaviour, but
simply allows an empty user ID to be passed, for connecting to Db2 as the
current user.
-
ibm_db2.i5_char_trim
int
-
This option controls if the end of strings are trimmed on IBM i.
Since many tables use fixed column sizes padded with spaces, this is
provided as a convenience.
By default, this option is 0 .
-
ibm_db2.i5_dbcs_alloc
int
-
This options affects the internal buffer allocation strategy on IBM i.
By default, this option is 0 .
When this option is set, buffers are allocated with a much larger size,
in case the database underestimates a string's size when converting
between encodings.
This option uses six times as much memory for buffers (to account for
the largest possible UTF-8 sequences), but may be needed if truncated
data is returned.
-
ibm_db2.i5_guard_profile
int
-
This option checks if the database user profile was switched when
connecting to a persistent database connection on IBM i, and if so,
disconnects from the database.
By default, this option is set to 0 .
-
ibm_db2.i5_log_verbose
int
-
This option sets if SQL diagnostic messages like warnings and errors are
always sent to the PHP error log on IBM i.
Normally, only a brief message on failure is sent (such as "statement
execute failed") to the PHP error log, as this option is set to
0 by default.
Note that you can still and should call i.e.
db2_stmt_errormsg manually as part of checking if
functions fail.
-
ibm_db2.i5_ignore_userid
int
-
This option ignores the user ID when connecting to the database when
running on IBM i, and runs SQL/CLI functionality inside of the PHP job,
instead of a separate job.
By default, this option is 0 .
When enabled, it no longer uses a separate database server job, and
always uses the current user profile for the database, ignoring the
username and password passed to db2_connect and
db2_pconnect.
-
0 - Uses the specified credentials, and use an SQL/CLI server job.
-
1 - Always use blank credentials, and run SQL/CLI in the PHP job.
-
ibm_db2.i5_job_sort
int
-
Controls the job sort option on IBM i.
By default, this option is 0 .
This corresponds to the IBM i SQL/CLI
SQL_ATTR_CONN_SORT_SEQUENCE attribute.
-
0 - Uses the *HEX sort option, sorting by bytes.
-
1 - Uses the job sort sequence set for the PHP job.
-
2 - Uses the job sort sequence set for the database job.
-
ibm_db2.i5_max_pconnect
int
-
This will affect how many times a persistent connection can be reused
when running on IBM i.
By default, this is set to 0 , which means a persistent
connection can always be reused.
This option can help work around issues in a long-running database job
(i.e. if a procedure is leaking memory), but is obviously not a long-term
fix.
-
ibm_db2.i5_override_ccsid
int
-
The PASE CCSID to use for character conversions from EBCDIC on IBM i.
By default, this is 0 , which will select the default
PASE job CCSID, which comes from the PASE locale settings.
For example, setting this to 1208 will use UTF-8.
This should only be modified if the PASE job CCSID isn't the expected
CCSID, and the locale cannot be modified.
To learn more about CCSIDs on IBM i, consult the
» IBM documentation.
To learn how locales on IBM i PASE are mapped to CCSIDs, consult the
» IBM documentation.
-
ibm_db2.i5_sys_naming
int
-
This option controls the naming mode when connecting to an IBM i system.
By default, this option is 0 .
The naming mode affects how names are resolved and the allowed syntax for
names.
When set to 0 , this uses periods to qualify names and
uses the default library or user ID to resolve names.
When set to 1 , this uses slashes to qualify names and
uses the job library list to resolve names.
To learn more about naming modes on IBM i, consult the
» IBM documentation.
-
ibm_db2.i5_servermode-subsystem
string
-
This option changes which subsystem database server jobs run under on
IBM i.
By default, this option is null , so jobs will run under the default
subsystem for QSQSRVR jobs.
-
ibm_db2.instance_name
string
-
On Linux and UNIX operating systems, this option defines the name of the
instance to use for cataloged database connections.
By default, this option is null .
If this option is set, its value overrides the
DB2INSTANCE environment variable setting.
This option is ignored on Windows operating systems.
