+Composite Primary key support for db2 
+
+== Driver Support ==
+
+DB2 support requires the IBM_DB driver provided by http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyibm/
+project. Install using gem install ibm_db. Tested against version 0.60 of the driver.
+This rubyforge project appears to be permenant location for the IBM adapter.
+Older versions of the driver available from IBM Alphaworks will not work. 
+
+== Driver Bug and workaround provided as part of this plugin ==
+
+Unlike the basic quote routine available for Rails AR, the DB2 adapter's quote
+method doesn't return " column_name = 1 " when string values (integers in string type variable) 
+are passed for quoting numeric column. Rather it returns "column_name = '1'. 
+DB2 doesn't accept single quoting numeric columns in SQL. Currently, as part of 
+this plugin a fix is provided for the DB2 adapter since this plugin does 
+pass string values like this. Perhaps a patch should be sent to the DB2 adapter
+project for a permanant fix.
+
+== Database Setup ==
+
+Database must be manually created using a separate command. Read the rake task
+for creating tables and change the db name, user and passwords accordingly.
+
+== Tested Database Server version ==
+
+This is tested against DB2 v9.1 in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04)
+
+== Tested Database Client version ==
+
+This is tested against DB2 v9.1 in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04)
