A DB2 console with history and autocomplete support, and few other goodies

DB2 console mode does not support readline and autocomplete, this is a wrapper for the db2 command mode with support for both. It also tries to make using db2 a little bit more tolerable, adding support for psql-like commands and other shortcuts.

Install

• apt-get install rlwrap
• gem install db2c
