DB2 9 Runtime Client
The best option if your only requirements are to enable applications to access
DB2 9 data servers. They provide the APIs necessary to perform this task, but
this client comes with no management tools.

DB2 Databases
Your Database always comes with at least the IBM Data Server Runtime Client. This allows you to connect to remote databases from the local database server just as you would from any server or workstation with the DB2 client. When you catalog a remote database on the local server that database becomes available to clients of the local server. That means that the remote client can catalog the database that it sees on your local server that is really just a catalog entry itself pointing to the remote database server. The client can’t tell the difference between local and catalog entries on remote servers. You can even chain multiple database servers together. I don’t usually recommend chaining databases, but it is interesting none the less.
