NT4 Informix
Posted in 1997
We develop our applications on the SCO/Unix and we would
like to port to Windows. Recently we installed Informix
workgroup server, informix-connection and informix-cli on
window NT4 but we have trouble to understand all the
enviornment setups and informix
functionalities. I believe that I am going to ask you
some stupid questions and I will be very appreciative if
you can help me.
(1) After installation, we created a database using the command,
c:\\informix\\bin\\dbaccess
this created a database named "test" on our informix NT server,
test@acustafNT
but I could not find where is the file located in my computer.
Where is it? (I can locate the "test" database by using
Database Explorer.)
(2) How to use ILogin Demo for INFORMIX-ESQL/C?
I have Database SQLcode=-25556 after I entered
Server: acustafNT
Hostname: MyComputerHost
Servicename: turbo
Protocolname: tcp-ip
and StoresDatabase: test
for connection.
where is the possible error?
(3) I installed ODBC driver for INFORMIX-CLI 2.5(32 bit) from
ControlPanel/ODBC32 and I entered,
test for Data Source Name,
test for Database Name,
Service name with turbo,
Server Name with acustafNT.
I would like to execute a SQL statement from C++ through ODBC
connections. Could you please tell me how to do this by using
Microsoft Visual C++? Will the DAO classes work with Informix?
Could you please forward me an example
to connect Informix using ODBC and execute a SQL query in
Windows?
(4) I tried to import imformix tables from Microsoft Access
through ODBC. I can see the Import Object tables of Informix.
But I select the table, I got a message said "Couldn't
find object 'table name'". Something went wrong in my informix
installation?
Thank you very much!
