Hi Guys,

I dont know whether this query exactly fits to this group or not.
Actually I am having a Application written in C++ which uses CLI API
to perform database operations.

Currently it is working on DB2 v8. now i want to move this application
on DB v9.

Does it need a recompilation with DB2 v9. Does it have any
complecations relatated to the v9 CLI APIs.
I have tried googling to find out some concrete documents which can
direct me correctly.

Thanks in Advance.....

If you don't have any dependencies built in yourself that specifically check
for DB2 V8, you shouldn't have any problem.

No I am not explicitily checking any version information. My only
worry is that whether some changes have been made to the API levels?

If you didn't use any API functions that were marked as "deprecated" in V8
already, you don't have a problem. But you may want to check if there are
new "deprecated" ones so that you can fix your code until the next DB2
version comes out.
