Re: Web based query tool for Informix database
Posted in 1999
Sach, Try http://www.php3.org , it runs on apache, and connects to INFORMIX using ESQL/C libraries. That is, you can have MACHINE A, running the Web Server and the PHP3 module, talking to an informix database located in same machine or in any other machine in your network. Did I mention PHP is FREE !!! :-). Regards, PS: By connecting to Informix using the ESQL/C libraries, PHP offers high performance compared to ASP from Microsoft , which connects to Informix via ODBC (A Slow Performance ...) and it is not hard to learn.
