Informix SQL statements within JavaScript functions
Jos Olthuis asked how to use Informix SQL statements inside JavaScript functions. Rob Wilson said JavaScript itself cannot connect to a database for security reasons and that an older book mentioned the LiveWire plug-in, which supports Informix. Art S. Kagel pointed to JDBC. Jos replied he wanted JavaScript, not Java, and might switch to Java. Unresolved.

Hi there! Is there anybody who knows where I can find information on the internet about using Informix SQL statements within Javascript functions? (is it possible anyway?) I triend several things, nothing seems to work. Can't find it anywhere! Please help! Jos Olthuis
JavaScript itself is not allowed to connect to the database. This is a security feature introduced by the makers of JavaScript. The only reference to doing this that I have seen states that you require the LiveWire plug-in. This book is rather old so I imagine that another plug-in may exist by now but it needs the same functionality. (The good news is that this old book says that LiveWire supports Informix connections).

Informix supports JDBC. Go to the Informix WEB Site and select the Informix Developer's Network (IDN) from there you select the JDBC Corner. The IDN is by subscription but it is free if you have a valid Informix serial number or support contract number so just register when prompted if you do not have an IDN password already. Art S. Kagel
Thanx for replying, but I am searching for JavaScript and not Java (2 different things) I already saw the JDBC Connection, if I can't get things fixed I'll try Java instead of JavaScript.
