Using .NET Linq with the DB2 - release date?
Though IBM has pledged to provide Linq to access DB2 programmatically within C# - it doesn't exist yet. In fact, Linq to SQL only works for Microsft SQL. You can do a backdoor version by using an OLEDB linked server in SQL Server for example. IBM won't tell us when Linq can access DB2 so keep an eye out at their Developer Works site at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/DB2/DB2+and+.NET+FAQ

I have heard that Linq with DB2 will be available by March 08. Any truth to this rumor?
I've been using Linq in my C# apps and it has really, as you say, turned into it into a genuine language.
IBM has released a beta of their Entity Framework provider supporting LINQ to DB2 and IDS. Please see the announcement here:
