Hi, We need to know if there are Informix ODBC drivers for AIX. So, the client and the database are on AIX, and we have a library that was built to use ODBC drivers under AIX. We would rather not pay for 3rd party drivers, but can't seem to find any information on whether this is a supported configuration by Informix. Anyone know where we can get more information? Thanks, Greg gregsmit@us.ibm.com

Client SDK is available free of charge via internet or U can buy it from Informix. In that case U are charged only for the media (about 200 USD) Hope this helps -- Slobodan Zorko ====================================== Alfatec Group Technical Support Kranjceviceva 36, 10000 Zagreb Phone: +385(1) 3647 077 E-Mail: slobodan.zorko@zg.tel.hr
