Am I the only person in the world with an Informix ODBC problem?

Posted in 2006

Summary

Kate (kjuliff) needed a 32-bit Informix ODBC driver for IDS 10 on Red Hat so that unixODBC could be 32-bit. A poster said it is included with the engine package and downloadable from IBM. Art S. Kagel said the ODBC libraries come with the free CSDK and Informix Connect, from IIUG or IBM. Sheshnarayan Agrawal pointed to IBM's CSDK download page with about 80 versions. Kate was still unsure which files she needed.

Although I have read the IBM documentation I cannot find what 32 bit ODBC driver is available for IDS 10. I need the 32 bit version as, though IDS is 64 bit, I need my unixODBC to be 32 bit (reason legacy C/ISAM files) I am running redhat linux enterprise. Thanks, Kate

It is included with the engine in the same package. It is also available for download from IBM.

Kate, the Informix ODBC libraries are included with the CSDK and Informix Connect which are both free. You can get a recent version from the IIUG web site (www.iiug.org) in the members section (membership is free you just have to register) and you can get the latest from IBM directly. If you do not need support CSDK and IConnect are free. Support is extra except for installation help. Art S. Kagel

There is another link http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/tools/csdk/ ...you will see "Informix CSDK downloads" at the bottom right side of this link. From there onwards you just need to browse to get the version which you are looking for ...at this point I can see there are total 80 different versions/platforms of CSDK available on this link.
