Figure B.5 - The DB2 Command Window<br />
You can easily identify you are working in the DB2 Command Window by looking at the<br />
window title which always includes the words DB2 CLP as highlighted in the figure. From<br />
the DB2 Command Window, all commands must be prefixed <strong>with</strong> db2. For example, in the<br />
above figure, two statements are issued:<br />
db2 connect to sample<br />
db2 select * from staff<br />
For Linux, the equivalent of the DB2 Command Window is simply the Linux shell (or<br />
terminal) where the DB2 environment has been set up by executing the db2profile file.<br />
This file is created by default and added to the .login file for the DB2 instance owner. By<br />
default the DB2 instance owner is db2inst1.<br />
B.4.2.2 DB2 Command Line Processor<br />
The DB2 Command Line Processor (CLP) is the same as the DB2 Command Window, <strong>with</strong><br />
one exception that the prompt is db2=> rather than an operating system prompt. To start<br />
the DB2 Command Line Processor on Windows, use Start -> Programs -> IBM DB2 -><br />
DB2COPY1 (Default) -> Command Line Tools -> Command Line Processor or alternatively<br />
from a DB2 Command Window or Linux shell type db2 and press Enter. The prompt will<br />
change to db2 as shown in Figure B.6.
