Re: Can ODBC work with Informix Online 5.0??

Check www.openlinksw.com. You can download a 30 day evaluation of their ODBC driver(s) for Informix 5.x. I downloaded it last week and got it running in about an hour. Hey, if I can do it, anybody can. Assuming you are running on a Unix box, you will need root access. rc P.S Don't get the 'lite' version. I don't think it has the server side software included. } Does anyone know if I can use ODBC to access an Informix 5.0 database? } I was told recently that ODBC was not implemented for Informix until } 6.0. } The person in question is no longer available, so I can't ask them if } they meant that Informix did not have their =own= ODBC drivers for } version 5.0 (but 3rd-party ODBC drivers were available), or whether they } meant that version 5.0 is simply not capable of being accessed via ODBC. } } You see, we have the need to develop an application to access an } Informix 5.0 database, and have been "requested" to use ODBC to } accomplish this, if possible.
