Re: ODBC Drivers !!!!!!!!!!!
Just one warning here. You either have to have a very special environement or be rather crazy to use the ODBC drivers included in the Informix Client SDK. The other products may be fine and nice, but *not* this ODBC driver. Just check the FAQ and particularly the white paper it refers to to find out exactly why. The main issue is data security although there are other problems as well. We can only hope that someone at Informix see the light one day... Some things that are free may not be all that free after all.
