LabVIEW for Linux and DB2 Database

I am trying to write an application in LabVIEW under Linux that will
take all my data and dump it into DB2 database. I was going to use the
SQL Toolkit that National Instruments supply but they dont have a
version for Linux. Does any one knows a way around this problem to
communicate with database from LabVIEW in Linux. Thanks a lot!

I did not implement it yet, but made tests which let me think that the
system is absolutly easy to implement:

Acquisition system (AS, Windows) creates data and sends it to Database
system (DS, SGI IRIX).
AS: Labview5.1, Internet-Toolkit (I think this is on Linux as well), but
not SQL-toolkit (to exansive for my needs).
DS: Usual Unix-System. MySQL Server running, database for acquired data,
User acount for AS.

AS sends a data-file via ftp to DS, connects via telnet to DS and runs a
small script to insert the datafile into the database.

Seems complicated, but in fact is very easy to implement. I will look if
I can find some of my test files, if that helps.

Greetings, Gilbert

P.S.: If you go for this solution, I will be interested if and how it
works.
