Any idea on how to set the node (dbpartition)? The db2 CLP commands  
recongnize the partition set by the DB2NODE env. variable but the db2  
api for ruby, still sees Node 0.

db\_conn = IBM\_DB::connect “#{dbname}”, “#{user}”, “#{password}”

Any idea on how to set the node (dbpartition)?

Thanks much!
