I have had some problems connecting with OpenLink. Informix has a product called "CLI" (for reasons that esacape me) which provides ODBC connectivity. We have it under Windows NT; I don't know what other platforms it is available for. CLI includes an ODBC Informix driver, apparently by Intersolv (judging from the appearance of "Intersolv" in some ODBC error messages I've seen :-) ). I've had mixed results from CLI. We've installed it on two NT systems here and it works great. On a third system any attempt to connect with our server results in a "memory allocation failed" message (on a system that shows 12MB available physical memory and 58MB available paging space -- right...). So far Informix has offered no response to be problem report, so I have no idea what the cause is. Caveat emptor.
