No, only if you want to use the native interface. The ODBC interface comes along with the standard version! A bargain if you ask me. STOP PRESS - STOP PRESS! We have just received the new ODBC driver from Informix !! It is called INFORMIX-CLI and seems to work very well with Informix. No longer any need for INFORMIX-NET We have not tested it extensively, but it seems to be quite fast.>
