connecting to DB2 database

i am trying to connect to a DB2 server using the DBI library.
The DBI *package* does not allow you to connect to anything by itself. For that you need a driver package, currently available for MySQL, ORACLE and SQLite (only, AFAIK). There are ODBC drivers for DB2 (on several platforms) so perhaps you could use RODBC: perhaps also RJDBC.
getData <- function()
{
driver <- dbDriver("DB2")
conn <- dbConnect(driver,"server","uname","pword")
data <- dbSendquery(conn, "select etc.")
}
When I run the function, i get the error
data <- getData()
Error in do.call(as.character(drvName), list(...)) :
could not find function "DB2"
Can anyone help me here?
Thank you
Zava
