Re: Informix JDBC:sqli connection problem.

Angel Yes it will. I am using SE 7.24 on Linux, JDK 1.1.6 on Linux and Informix JDBC Driver 1.4. It works. You just need to change the JDBC URL slightly.

Software Dependencies To use Informix JDBC Driver to connect to an Informix database, you must use one of the following Informix database servers: Informix Dynamic Server, Version 7.x Informix Dynamic Server, Workgroup and Developer Editions, Version 7.x Informix Dynamic Server with Advanced Decision Support and Extended Parallel Options, Version 8.x Informix Dynamic Server with Universal Data Option, Version 9.x INFORMIX-OnLine, Version 5.x You must also use the following JavaSoft software: Java Development Kit (JDK), Version 1.1.5 or later So, if you're using SE, it won't connect. :-( > > > > > > > > After managing to find to write correct argument, like > > > java DBConnection >'jdbc:informix-sqli://classic:1525:informixserver=classicnet; > > > user=muchan;passwd=pwd' > > > > > > I get: > > > ERROR: failed to load Informix JDBC driver. > > > ERROR: failed to connect! > > > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException > > > at DBConnection.main(Compiled Code) > > > > > > The code causing the error message is: > > > > > > try > > > { > > > Class.forName("com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver"); > > > } > > > catch (Exception e) > > > { > > > System.out.println("ERROR: failed to load Informix JDBC >driver."); > > > } > > > > > > I checked ClassPath, and there is "ifxjdbc.jar", which contains the >class > > > "com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver".
