What Informix Version?

Posted in 2000

Summary

Bernardo, new to an AIX Unix server with Informix and a WinNT client, asked how to find the Informix and Unix versions and where to get an OLEDB provider. Paul Jazwierski said to run onstat and read its header; Alex Bernaards added uname -a for Unix; Tan Chun Han suggested reading the *cr files in $INFORMIXDIR/etc. The OLEDB question went unanswered.

I work in a new company for a little time and I try to work with an Unix AIX/Informix server and a WinNT/INFORMIX-CLI client. I work quite good with ADO and OLEDB for ODBC, but I don't know the version of my Unix and of my Informix. Also I don't know what is my server: INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server INFORMIX-OnLine Workgroup Server INFORMIX-OnLine Workstation INFORMIX-OnLine XPS INFORMIX-SE INFORMIX-Universal Server 1) There is some tools to see type, version, release of Informix and Unix? 2) I don't have OLEDB provider for Informix: where can I find it? Have I to buy it or for people that already have an Infromix product is it free? Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english. Berna.

You get the informix data by typing 'onstat' on your command line. The header provides all the info you need.

And for Unix 'uname -a' Alex Paul Jazwierski wrote: > You get the informix data by typing 'onstat' on your command line. The > header provides all the info you need.
