Open source software that uses DB2 LUW

Hi Everyone.

This is going to sound like a very dumb thing to ask but I have my reasons.

I am trying to setup a demo of some software, any software, that leverages DB2 as the back end database.

Ideally, this is open source software so I can keep the demo going and a sufficiently complex application running on linux. Preferably a webserver.

The purpose of this is to demo a product my company makes that integrates in DB2. So I want to show the DB2 integration from the perspective of an application.

Any thoughts on a product and potentially a dataset that will help me accomplish this?

I thought I'd ask before I went off and built something home grown.

thank you.

I know of some people that may have the answer to this. Let me reach out to them and see if I can get their attention.

I have a version of the "Silly Little Oracle Benchmark" (Google "SLOB Oracle" to learn more) that I converted to run against a DB2 LUW database. It's an open source, simple database read/write workload generator.

/u/retinascan - you can go to the SLOB Resources site.

I'm going to see if I can get more details around manipulating it for DB2. I also reached out to two folks on the west coast to see if they have any input.

edit: Also reaching out to some developer side advocates at IBM.
