An ODBC driver has to be installed on the client machine. There is no ODBC
driver that is shipped with DB2 9.5 Express-C for MacOSX.
But you should be able to use the JDBC driver that comes with DB2 9.5
Express-C for MacOSX. ODBC is usually used on Windows systems only.

Good question. I've never used iODBC. You will have to check the
documentation, if it's possible to use it to connect to DB2.
