Lots of questions about ODBC. Has anyone got ODBC for Informix 9.1.4 working on a application? For example, Excel running on a NT box to Informix 9.1.4 running on Solaris 2.6? Has anyone got ODBC running with user defined data types? We have been trying to get ODBC running on many different applications using User defined data types, and cannot get anything to work. Any comments? Does anybody know of any other way to access User defined types in Informix 9.1.4 of a network, without using ODBC. Perhaps setnet32? I have tried this and it explodes. Thanks for all your help. David Tamburin david.tamburin@protegrity.com

We have it working just fine in that same environment with all of the following: Informix 2.8 Intersolv 3.01 Intersolv 3.10 > >Has anyone got ODBC running with user defined data types? >We have been trying to get ODBC running on many different applications >using User defined data types, and cannot get anything to work. >Any comments?

You should be able to test the functionality with SqlEditor 2.0 and up, it handles row types nicely.
