A dbt adapter for IBM's DB2 for i v7.2+. The connection to the warehouse is through ODBC and requires that pyodbc is installed. All credits to dbt-sqlserver adapter and dbt-ibmdb2 projects that heavily inspired this adapter.

A similar adapter dbt-ibmdb2 exists, however, dbt-ibmdb2 uses the ibm_db Python package to connect to IBM DB2. This adapter connects to the warehouse using pyodbc.

The following materializations are supported:

• Incremental
• Snapshot
• View
• Table
• Seed

Ephemeral models have not been tested yet.

Use pip to install:
