Re: Informix 7.1 [availability of SE on SCO]

Hi, there is sqlcmd (a freeware SQL command interpreter) from Sam Leffler and the DBD:Informix module for perl5 (from Sam, too). These tools provide basic SQL access to the Informix database and compile easily under SCO 5 (provided you have ESQL/C for Informix 7). Both tools work very nicely ... i would really miss them if they wouldn't exist even if I use mostly Delphi and the BDE or ODBC to access the database. Thanks Sam .....
