However, JDBC is really a Windows oriented this as it's a Java extension to ODBC, which is definitely Windows based. We do a JDBC driver that will connect Windows apps to an Informix database on SCO & AIX (it's called SQL-Retriever). Take a look at http://www.vision.sco.com/brochure/sqlretriever/ to see if it's what you want. You'll get details and should also be able to download an eval Allan Gould (allang@sco.com) P.S. We still love Informix 5!
