We're using SQL Inserts to insert some data via a script into DB/2 tables, e.g.

CREATE TABLE TICKETS (TICKETID VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL);

On my home installation, this statement works fine (note that I'm using an integer which is autoatically cast into a VarChar):

INSERT INTO TICKETS (TICKETID) VALUES (1);

while at my customer's site I get a type error.

My question(s):

Is this behavior version dependent? (I use a DB2 Express V9.7, while the customer has an Enterprise V9.5)
Is there a config option to change the behavior? (I would like my home install to behave as close as possible as the production environment is going to be.)
