Can I get the version information in the ifxjdbcx.jar file?
SangGyu Jeong asked whether the ifxjdbcx.jar file carries version information, as no Version class exists in it. David Link and Jon Ritson pointed to IBM documents and suggested it matches ifxjdbc.jar. Brian Hughes said older drivers have no separate ifxjdbcx version and that later drivers merged the two jars, so upgrading was advised. The customer uses version 9.4 and will not upgrade.

Hello All, Version information of the ifxjdbc.jar file can be checked with the com.informix.jdbc.Version class. I want to know if the version information of the ifxjdbcx.jar file exists. When the ifxjdbcx.jar file is uncompressed with the jar command, the Version class cannot be found, so the version information does not seem to exist. Thanks, SangGyu Jeong ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------ #Informix

Thank you for your reply. I couldn't check the version of the ifxjdbcx.jar file with the command in that document. It seems that the version information does not exist in the ifxjdbcx.jar file. ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------
Hi. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGU8G_12.1.0/com.ibm.jdbc_pg.doc/ids_jdbc_019.htm If you have the ifxjdbc.jar in the same directory as the ifxjdbcx.jar then the version of ifxjdbcx.jar is probably the same as ifxjdbc.jar Why not use a later version where it is only ifxjdbc.jar?

@Jon Ritson Thanks for the reply. This is a question I got from a customer. I guess the customer checks the version in the ifxjdbc.jar file and believes that there is a class that can also check the version in ifxjdbcx.jar :) ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------
For the older JDBC drivers, there is no separate version for the ifxjdbcx jar file. If you are on 4.10.JC9 or JC10 I can't remember for sure, we merged the two files together and there is just ifxjdbc.jar. So if they are asking about ifxjdbx.jar they should upgrade their JDBC driver ------------------------------ Brian Hughes ------------------------------
@Brian Hughes Unfortunately, the customer is currently using version 9.4, and there seems to be no plans to upgrade. Presumably, they were investigating their software. ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------
