DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2

When using the DB2 Data Server Driver Package, there might be a 
small memory leak (anywhere from 1-30 bytes) for every 
connection request made with the DB2 .NET data provider. 
 
The problem would only occur if the DS Driver was processing 
keywords from the db2dsdriver.cfg file for the connection.  For 
example keywords like Authentication and ClientApplicationName. 
 
This specific problem would not happen if using ODBC/CLI or OLE 
DB, as the process where a leak was detected is only triggered 
by the DB2 .NET data provider.

* Windows users using DB2 .NET                                 *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         * 
* See Error Description                                        * 
**************************************************************** 
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              * 
* Upgrade to DB2 Version 9.7, Fixpak 6                         * 
****************************************************************

Removing the keywords from the db2dsdriver.cfg file may reduce 
or eliminate the leak.   Using an instance based client like the 
Data Server Client would also help eliminate the leak.
