Art's answer covers the other alternatives. If you need to write ESQL/C and you have a pre-existing database on the remote server, you can use: int main() { EXEC SQL WHENEVER ERROR STOP; EXEC SQL DATABASE 'remotedbs'; puts("OK"); return(0); } If you don't have a pre-existing database on the remote server (which would be surprising), then you can use: int main() { EXEC SQL WHENEVER ERROR STOP; EXEC SQL CREATE DATABASE 'remotedbs'; puts("OK"); return(0); } You need to have INFORMIXSERVER set; you probably need INFORMIXDIR set; and you need $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sqlhosts (or $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS) to contain an entry for your INFORMIXSERVER. >I have dbaccess on the my server which I used to verify the server is >running correctly.
