Install ESQL/C Informix
A user asked where to get ESQL/C for Informix, how to install it, and whether it's really used from C programs. The answer: ESQL/C is shipped as part of the Informix Client SDK (CSDK is the same thing), downloadable from IBM's Informix download page, and it is indeed for writing C programs with embedded SQL; the supplied demo programs are the suggested starting point. The user initially hit a 'Bad Gateway' error on the IBM download link, which started working shortly afterwards. Resolved.

Thanks. I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me. Or, can you explain your question a bit more clearly? If you don't speak English as a first language, ask it in your native language. I'm sure someone would pick it up. -- Cheers, Obnoxio The Clown http://obotheclown.blogspot.com
