Connecting IBM DB2 to Amazon Q Business
Note
IBM DB2 connector remains fully supported for existing customers through May 31, 2026. While this connector is no longer available for new users, current users can continue to use it without interruption. We are continuously evolving our connector portfolio to offer more scalable and customizable solutions. For future integrations, we recommend exploring the Amazon Q Business Custom Connector Framework[1], designed to support a broader range of enterprise use cases with enhanced flexibility.
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).
