Re: Informix as a linked server in sql 2000

Could you contact me with your personal email ID (this doesn't work!)? I will try to get some more information and see if we can make CSDK/ODBC compatible for your company's usage. -Shesh KStahl <ktsahl@yoohoo.com> Sent by: informix-list-bounces@iiug.org 06/04/2008 06:35 To informix-list@iiug.org cc Subject Re: Informix as a linked server in sql 2000 Sheshnarayan Agrawal wrote: > > Could you please elaborate on "approved" part?

It involves system verification testing and regression testing. That means I just can't willy-nilly throw any solution I come up with at a problem. Anyhow, I finally received an answer back from Openlink support. They have never certified their Informix drivers to work with SQL Server. The problem is that the MS oledb drivers for ODBC do not agree with Informix in the arena of metadata. They apparently have addressed some concerns in the 6.x drivers (which I can't use), but the drivers are still not certified to work with Informix when it comes to configuring a lined server. _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list
