I've set up the Horde framework with IBM's DB2, since DB2 is accessed via
the unified ODBC functions within PHP. Horde supports ODBC and therefore
this shouldn't be a problem. First I've got an error but then I was able to
solve the problem by editing the conf.php. The ['protocol'] and ['database']
parameters have to be set to an empty string. Then Horde works perfectly
with DB2 via ODBC.
Unfortunately  the protocol and the database name are required fields in the
Horde-Administration-Configuration web interface.
I just wanted to tell you that Horde works with IBM DB2, but that you will
have to edit the conf.php file manually.
If you are interested, I can send you the create tables script for DB2.

To solve the required field problem in the administration interface there
are several possibilities:

1) Create a new database backend item called DB2, where protocol and
database are not required fields.
2) Change the field requirements for ODBC.
