SAS Connectivity to Informix
Vikas Hivarkar, with 64-bit SAS and IDS 11.50.FC8W2, asked whether a 64-bit Informix driver exists, then found a 64-bit CSDK for Windows and downloaded it. Fernando Nunes said a 32-bit driver can reach a 64-bit engine but the driver should match the client. Art Kagel confirmed 64-bit drivers exist. Outcome of the connection test was not reported.

Dear All, IDS 11.50.FC8W2 SAS (64 bit) trying to connect to 64bit IDS using Informix driver which I believe is only 32 bit. Is there a 64 bit Informix driver available or the 32bit works for 32 and 64 both? Regards, Vikas
Hello, Oops, there is a 64bit CSDK available for windows, downloading it now and will try to establish the connectivity.

A 32 bit driver could connect to a 64 bit Informix engine. But I doubt it would work with a 64bit client. So, the driver should match the client. It will work with any server. Regards.
