Connecting IBM DB2 to Amazon Q Business

IBM DB2 is a relational database management system developed by IBM. If you are a AWS user, you can use Amazon Q Business to index your IBM DB2 data source.

You can connect your IBM DB2 instance to Amazon Q—using either the AWS Management Console, CLI, or the CreateDataSource API—and create an Amazon Q web experience.

The Amazon Q IBM DB2 data source connector supports DB2 11.5.7.

Important

As a best practice, provide Amazon Q with read-only database credentials. Also, avoid adding tables with sensitive data or personal identifiable information (PII).
