Installing OLE DB support in IDS 9.4

Hi all,
Following a thread between M.Kovacic & Sunny:
> I tried that but from dbaccess said that the
> table to be created in coledbp.sql was already
> created. I am setting up the Informix for
> Window, so there is no cdotnet.sql , I guess.
I try to find these scripts but I couldn't. I searched the files coledbp.sql
and cdotnet.sql under the $INFORMIXDIR hierarchy for the files _coledbp.sql_
and _cdotnet.sql_, but I didn't found them.
I searched on :
I-IDS Ver. 9.40.TC5TL on Windows XP Pro-SP2
I-IDS Ver. 9.40.FC4 on HP-UX B.11.11
But I found anything ole / dotnet related.
In fact I tried this on sysmaster;
select tabid, tabname[1,30]
from systables
where tabid > 99
and (tabname matches '*ole*' or tabname matches '*net*')
order by 1, 2;
0 rows!
So where are these files?.
Do I'm missing something?
Do I need to install something aditional?
Any help would be appreciated
J.
PD: I'm tryin to enable OLE-DB support in IDS in order to add a linked server
in Sql-Server so that IDS tables are available to Sql-Server.

Hi
The IBM Informix OLE DB driver has been shipped with Client SDK and
IConnect.
Make sure either of this component has installed on that computer.
The following SQL files will be available at $INFORMIXDIR\\\\etc
coledbp.sql
cdotnet.sql
(In this case $INFORMIXDIR is the directory location where the Client S=
DK
or IConnect installed)

So I have to run coledbp.sql against sysmaster.
But some questions come to my mind:
- Could I use this script against an Unix IDS?
- What's the purpose cregress.sql (no header) ADO?
- DO I have to run uoledbp2021.sql and uoledbp2125.sql
after I ran coledbp.sql?
- Where do I get cdotnet.sql? (not need it, just to
know.

Hi Jean Sagi,
IBM Informix server allows the server and client installed at same or
different locations.
If server and client installed at the same location the INFORMIXDIR is =
same
for both.
If it is installed at different location, the term "INFORMIXDIR" needs =
to
be considered based on the contest.
That is why I mentioned in the previous mail "In this case" when I refe=
r
INFORMIXDIR
"(In this case $INFORMIXDIR is the directory location where the Client =
SDK
or IConnect installed)"
To get full functionality by using IBM Informix OLE DB provider we shou=
ld
execute
coledbp.sql against sysmaster database regardless of the platform serve=
r
has installed.
If you have DBACCESS available on NT box you can still use that utility=
and
connect to the server (tha has installed on any platform) and execute t=
he
coledbp.sql
The alternative option is to FTP coledbp.sql to the computer where the
server has installed and run it by using DBACCESS.
Only user "informix" has the permission to modify the sysmaster databas=
e,
Make sure you are connecting to sysmaster database as user "informix".=
We need to run only coledbp.sql to get OLE DB provider work.
OLE DB doesn't use any other SQL file including cregress.sql,
uoledbp2021.sql and uoledbp2125.sql
In case if you want to revert the changes (done by coledbp.sql) we can =
run
doledbp.sql against sysmaster database as user informix.
The cdotnet.sql will get installed as part of IBM Informix .NET Data
Provider.
The .NET driver is being shipped with IBM Informix I-Connect and Client=
SDK
2.81 TC3 or later.
.NET Data Provider will get install only if the computer has Microsoft
Framework SDK version 1.1 installed.
Feel free to use this alias whenever you need any help related to IBM
Informix products.
