Hi Edward, You have plenty of options between third party ODBC drivers like Intersolv provides and those drivers provided by the database vendors themselves. I know that Informix has an ODBC/CLI driver for Unix that it produces. The question about which one to use can come across as a religious discussion at times on the comp.database.* newgroups, everyone seems to have their own favorite.
