How to connect to DB2 using UNIX
I am new to Putty, Unix and DB2 and this is what I am working on right now.
I installed Putty
I got access to username / pwd
I got Unix usrname/Pwd.also got the home directory

once I login into putty I get the screen and it shows $ sign

From here how do I connect to DB2 database?

I have tried db2 "connect to databasename"
but did not help

Please advise

Before that, you have to source (include) the DB2 profile of the instance you are using. Let's assume, the instance is db2inst1 and your shell is capable of the ~username syntax to refer to a user's home directory (bash, ksh,...) , you can write

Code:
. ~db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
db2 connect to dbname

That works, if the database is located within the instance db2inst1. If there is just a catalog entry there, because the database is actually somewhere else, you have to use the syntax jyoung recommended.
