DB2TUI a minimal DB2i IDE running on AS/400 systems - Python

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 09:00:10 +0000

The first version of DB2TUI, a minimal TUI SQL IDE for DB2 databases on AS/400 is live. This project started as a side exploration, but I wanted to release it early—even without all the planned features—because real-world feedback matters more than perfection.
Why? Life (and daily obligations) happens, but progress shouldn’t wait. This initial release lets you:

✔ Navigate libraries and tables effortlessly

✔ Run SQL commands or scripts with keyboard shortcuts

✔ Handle large datasets with paging
It’s not everything I dreamed of yet, but it’s usable, practical, and ready for testing. And yes, I’m already working on making it more powerful—think smarter workflows, better error handling, and features that save you time.
Try it out, break it, and tell me what you think! Your input will shape what comes next.

PS I'd love some feedback if it works on your AS/400
