Informix csdk download?
Dave Baligo needed the Informix CSDK/ODBC driver and could not find a download. Benjamin Thompson listed sources, namely Fix Central with a support contract (latest 4.10.xC12W1) and Passport Advantage, and noted outdated IIUG links. Dave downloaded it successfully. Eric Vercelletto added links for ODBC, JDBC, PHP, Python and other drivers. Solved.

Hi, I need the ODBC driver for Informix. Where can I download the Informix csdk? I searched all over online and IBM just keeps taking me in circles. Can anyone assist with the right place to download it? Thank You, --Dave
There are three online sources I am aware of: 1. Fix Central: If you have an up to date support contract and want the latest version you can get it from Fix Central: https://www-945.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ Select "Information Management" and then "Informix Client Software Developmennt Kit". The latest is at time of writing is 4.10.xC12W1 but select an earlier version. This is the best way to get it if this method is available for you. 2. Passport Advantage https://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage/pao_customer.html This should offer up to date package versions like Fix Central but is more fiddly to use and (I think) you have to be an IBM direct customer to have access to it. 3. Trials and demos https://www.ibm.com/analytics/informix Often this is a few releases behind the latest and greatest. Click "Download the free Informix Client Software Development Kit". The version available there at time of writing is 4.10.xC9. All these download methods come from IBM. I am not sure what is available if you bought through HCL. If you can't access (2) or maybe (1) as well, your reseller or IBM business partner should be able to. HTH Ben.
After replying to this, I thought this information ought to be available on the IIUG web site. http://www.iiug.org/links/ibm.php contains a few out of date or broken links. Focusing only on the links relevant to this question: IBM Software Downloads - links to "IBM Support is Transforming" page. Informix Client SDK D/L - still links to a software trials page but no Informix trial seems be available at this location. IBM Passport Advantage - broken link. Is there any chance the maintainers could update this page? Ben.
Benjamin, Great! Thank you so much. I was able to download it. Thank you for the comprehensive response. --Dave
