Hi, I have a JDBC driver file for Informix of unknown age, although the version is known to be Version 2.11.JC1 I looked absolutely everywhere for Informix JDBC driver downloads, and can not find a single one. One site at IBM (which now seems to own Infromix) says to download them at http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/informix/tools/jdbc/ says they are there, the page only brings up an error message. So, who know where to find Informix JDBC drivers? Thanks, Wolfgang. UCSB

It seems that IBM's download site is temporarily out of order. Even if it is working, JDBC drivers are not free! Even worse: drivers from IBM have limited functionality, especially if you plan to use two-phase commit (XA drivers). Better drivers can be found at DataDirect site (http://www.datadirect-technologies.com), but these drivers are also commercial (not free)...

Thanks, I got the DataDirect connectjdbc.jar. The jdbcReadme file in that jar sound very complicated. You can't just pick out an informix JDBC driver jar, but rather need to go through a very involved installation process. Don't know if I want to do that. I may just keep muddling along with my old Informix JDBC driversof unknown age and origin (ifxjdbc.jar). Any additional leads, sources, links for Informix JDBC drivers? Thanks.
