Hello, I have just downloaded the hot-off-the-press Informix ODBC Driver 3.3 (ex-CLI). It seems to work fine, but there is one obscure area: the DSN can store a user name and password, and so can the Informix registry entry, not to mention the username and password entered at run-time by the user. There does not seem to be any way to tell the driver which one to use, so I assume there is some kind of hierarchy. The manual is completely silent on the subject. Anybody has any idea? Thanks -- Bashar Chalabi CTL, London

Please tell me where you downloaded this from. I have been unable to find anything on the informix web site about this new driver. We have been waiting for months for an updated driver (of odbc 3.x compatability) from informix, as the 2.x drivers do not work well with our application.
