ODBC
Luis Carlos Diaz Otero asked how to query Informix SE 7.2 on Windows XP from MS Excel and which ODBC driver is needed. Art S. Kagel said third-party drivers cost money, while the free Informix Connect or Client SDK includes drivers and the SDK adds compiler libraries and headers. Rich suggested ADO with the ODBC driver or OLEDB provider from the Client SDK.

However, you have to pay for 3rd party drivers while the Informix Client SDK is free (as is Informix Connect) and contains all of Connect (it the drivers, runtime libraries, and message files) plus the compiler libs and headers.
