	    Linux and Windows: 
	   	   pip install ibm_db
	    Mac:
		   pip install --no-cache-dir ibm_dbInstall and ConfigurationThe IBM_DB_SA Python Egg component (.egg) can be installed using the standard setuptools provided by the Python Easy Install through Python Entreprise
Application Kit community portal:http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstallPlease follow the steps provided to Install "Easy Install" in the link above and follow up with these additional steps to install IBM_DB_SA:To install IBM_DB_SA from pypi repository(pypi.python.org):
Windows:pip install ibm_db_sa
Linux/Unix:
$ sudo pip install ibm_db_saTo install IBM_DB_SA egg component from the downloaded .egg file
Windows:easy_install ibm_db_sa-x.x.x-pyx.x.egg
Linux/Unix:
$ sudo easy_install ibm_db_sa-x.x.x-pyx.x.eggTo install IBM_DB_SA from source
Standard Python setup should be used::
python setup.py installIn case you want to control the sqlalchemy version use the following commandsInstall SQLAlchemy supported version:
     pip install sqlalchemy==1.3.23
     pip install ibm_db_saIBM_DB_SA is now available as part of conda-forge channel.
Install Instruction from conda-forge channelconda install -c conda-forge ibm_db
  conda install -c conda-forge ibm_db_saPLATFORMS SUPPORTED THROUGH CONDA FORGE1. WINDOWS
2. MAC
4. LINUXConnectingA TCP/IP connection can be specified as the following::from sqlalchemy import create_engine

	e = create_engine("db2+ibm_db://user:pass@host[:port]/database")For a local socket connection, exclude the "host" and "port" portions::from sqlalchemy import create_engine

	e = create_engine("db2+ibm_db://user:pass@/database")Supported DatabasesIBM DB2 Universal Database for Linux/Unix/Windows versions 9.7 onwardsIBM Db2 on CloudIBM Db2 on ZOSIBM Db2 on IseriesNoteBy default, all tables and schemas stored in a Db2 database are created
using capital letters only.
However, if you have a table name in lowercase letters, you can still reference
it by enclosing the name in single quotes inside double quotes.
For exampleif users table is in small letter inside database
	So, you can use single quotes "'users'".
	If you will not use single quotes such as "users", it will
	be refered as "USERS".

	metadata = sqlalchemy.MetaData(schema="schema1")
	table = sqlalchemy.Table("'users'", metadata, autoload_with=engine)Known Limitations in ibm_db_sa adapter for DB2 databasesNon-standard SQL queries are not supported. e.g. "SELECT ? FROM TAB1"For updations involving primary/foreign key references, the entries should be made in correct order. Integrity check is always on and thus the primary keys referenced by the foreign keys in the referencing tables should always exist in the parent table.Unique key which contains nullable column not supportedUPDATE CASCADE for foreign keys not supportedDEFERRABLE INITIALLY deferred not supportedSubquery in ON clause of LEFT OUTER JOIN not supportedPyODBC and Jython/zxjdbc support is experimentalCreditsibm_db_sa for SQLAlchemy was first produced by IBM Inc., targeting version 0.4.
The library was ported for version 0.6 and 0.7 by Jaimy Azle.
