Re: A way to run perl DBD::Informix with RDS?

In fact I have an interface (poor and bad) to informix using dbaccess from perl. I know that is slower than DBD with ESQL/C. What I only want to know, is if there is such a way to get the same results in RDS. (ESQL/C and SDK for SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 are not affordable for (to?) me by now). OR... Is there a binary version of DBD::Informix for SCO OpenServer 5 that I can download from somewhere? Thank you again -- Mario R.

RDS does NOT use an ODBC connection it uses the same native Informix protocol connection that DBD:Informix and ESQL/C use. Art S. Kagel
