odbc

Forwarding one of my engineers questions out to you all. INFO: I have a demo SQL Retriever that I will be looking at. Informix 7.12 UC2 running on Sun Solaris 2.5 Engineer: >I have a >feeling I do not know all that I want to find out, so I'm guessing my >questions are pretty inadequate. > >I do not know very much about odbc, so you will have to forgive my lack of >correct terminology. I think odbc will ease our task of interfacing with >Informix quite well. But I do not know exactly how it all works. I imagine >there is some API or library of some sort that resides on solaris somewheres >that knows about our Informix database and provides the programmers with >functions/api's to access our database, somehow. > >In summary I would like information on how odbc works: >1) does solaris support it? and how? >2) if so, what is the API for utilizing odbc and its capabilities from >within a C program run on solaris... or where might i find information for >this? which apps are available?
