Does it use } Embedded SQL (ESQL) or does it use CLI or some other library? It uses ESQL/C. }2) I've heard & read in Informix literature that I-CLI 2.X could } be used to connect to both Informix 7.X and 5.X Databases. Prior } to CLI 2.X what was used for Informix client side connectivity? Informix ESQL/C, mainly. I'm not sure that there ever was a 1.x I-CLI. } Did they even have database client side software at that time? Oh yes, we had connectivity; it just wasn't ODBC-style connectivity.
