IBM DB2

Connect an IBM DB2 database to Lakehousecat using a connection URI.

Connection Fields

Field	Required	Description
Connection URI	Yes	Full connection string. Example: ibm_db://user:password@host:50000/database
Use SSH	No	Enable if the database is behind an SSH bastion host. See SSH Tunneling.

Prerequisites

• Admin or Builder role in Lakehousecat
• A Db2 user with SELECT access to the target schemas and tables
• Default port: 50000

Notes

• Use a read-only database user to follow the principle of least privilege.
• Incremental Load is supported; use a timestamp column (e.g., UPDATED_AT) as the merge key.
• Db2 schema names are typically uppercase — ensure filter settings use the correct casing.

Next Steps

After creating the datasource, go to the Operations tab to trigger semantic extraction.
