The DB2 Run-Time Client Lite is a smaller footprint version of the DB2 Run-Time Client, and contains support necessary for JDBC, SQLJ, ODBC, CLI, OLE DB and .NET. The software is shipped as a single executable, making it easy to redistribute and deploy. It is only available for the Windows® operating system, and supports only the TCP/IP and Named Pipes communication protocols.
The DB2 Run-Time Client Lite also provides Merge Modules that can be used by other Windows Installer based installations to easily embed connectivity to DB2 Universal Database servers in your own application.
The DB2 Run Time Client Lite contains the absolute minimum file set (outside of using the DB2 JDBC Type 4 driver) for DB2 connectivity and is designed with mass deployments on the Windows platform in mind. For example, the DB2 Run-Time Client for Windows is about 80 MB, the DB2 Run-Time Client Lite for Windows is about 12 MB.
