Re: How to run ESQL/C 5 product on 7.x

Fred, Informix 6 and 7 use virtual processors and frontends that talk to backends via shared memory: no more sqlexec or sqlturbo. However for backwards compatability they built a relay module to allow code developed in the old environment to work in the new. what you do is set SQLEXEC=$INFORMIXDIR/lib/sqlrm You will probably find you have better throughput if and when you recompile in the new environment; you are avoiding a layer of software.
