driver setting is either 'odbc' for ODBC connection or 'ibm' for pdo_ibm connection Then if driver is 'odbc', database must be set to ODBC connection name. if driver is 'ibm', database must be set to IBMi database name (WRKRDBDIRE).

Option 2: Configure DB2 using package config file

Run on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan config:publish cooperl/laravel-db2

Set your laravel-db2 credentials in app/config/packages/cooperl/laravel-db2/config.php the same way as above

Usage

Consult the Laravel framework documentation.
