title: DB2 connection through pyodbc and pandas.io.sql in Unix Box with non-root
body: <p>I am trying to connect to IBM DB2 through python using pyodbc and pandas.io.sql, now the twist is I am not Super User or better to say I dont have any right to install DB2 Driver or anything else.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use pyodbc and pandas.io.sql to connect to DB2 with such conditions.</p>
  
  <p>The code which I used so far is</p>
  
  <pre><code>cnxn = pyodbc.connect('Driver={FreeTDS}; Hostname=eee;Port=25369;Protocol=TCPIP;Database=rt;CurrentSchema=abc;UID=abc;PWD=efg;')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Error </p>
  
  <pre><code>pyodbc.Error: ('IM002', '[IM002] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Or is it possible to check if there is preinstalled DB2 driver.</p>
