I am just starting out at a company that uses Informix. But no one seems to know of any windows db admin/sql tools. Oracle has SQL*Plus and DBNavigator, and Sybase has DBAdvantage and Sybase Central. Are there any GUI tools for SQL editing/running and for db administration of Informix? I know there are shareware ODBC SQL tools, but I'm looking for something that does low level Informix admin. If nothing else, perhaps someone could recommend the best ODBC/shareware SQL editor? thx

It isn't much for admin use, but try Informix SQL Editor v4.00. It is a GUI SQL tool for Windows that connects to Informix natively. I got it by buying Data Director for Web, but my guess is it's a bundled freebie. Ask your sales person how to get it. For admin purposes, you might want to look at the new Informix Server Administrator shipping with engine 9.20.

I was told about SQL Editor, but I can't seem to get it. I think the problem is Windows 2000. I've had people tell me that it installs with the client sdk, and other apps, but no luck. I cannot install an informix server (so it can install the freebie tools), because the install quits when it detects a non-NTFS filesystem. I even talked to an informix tech rep that couldn't tell me where to get SQL Editor. He didn't even know what the Informix Server Admin tool was. I have installed the demo of the AGS tool Server Studio (thx Ben), and aside from a few quirks, it works great!
