Windows GUI SQL Tool for Informix?
Cori Johnson asked for Windows GUI SQL and administration tools for Informix. J Lusty suggested Informix SQL Editor 4.00 and the Server Administrator in 9.20, but Cori could not obtain them on Windows 2000. Cori found the Server Studio demo worked well, and Imran Hussain suggested the free WinSQL.

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!
