What do you mean by "view the database in a graphic mode"? Do you want to see the table schema? An ER Diagram of the schema? Values in graphs? Or just a pretty screen to display rows and columns in a modern GUI fashion? The answer is yes to all, but without knowing what you are looking for we can't make a good recommendation. Art Art S.

OK here are a couple that I know work with Informix (most ER tools do BTW): Datanamic's Dezign for Database (you can import your schema from a dbschema or myschema output file and output an Informix compatible schema file. It does not connect directly to the server for Informix.) www.datanamic.com AGS's Server Studio - You can download this one and use its basic functionality for free (that includes the ER Diagrammer IB). You will also get full Enterprise functionality for a 30 day trial. Server Studio and its companion product (Sentinel - for monitoring your server) only support Informix. Server Studio also has all of the server management features you need to stop using the on* commandline tools to manage your server. www.serverstudio.com ERWin supports Informix. IBM Data Studio supports Informix. Of these I like Server Studio best for its ability to automatically import your schema and to manage your database servers. I like Dezign for Database because you can use it to design a database graphically and produce an SQL schema DDL script as well as reverse engineer an existing database. Art Art S.
