Informix SQL-GUI(s)?

Posted in 1999

Summary

Michael Simons, new to Informix, asked for graphical SQL tools like Toad or SQL-Navigator because he disliked dbaccess. Art S. Kagel pointed to Informix's free Windows Relational Object Manager, though he personally liked dbaccess. Mike Reetz suggested WinSQL, an ODBC-based tool. Arkady Ginzburg suggested SPL Workstation, with explorers, editors and a stored procedure debugger. No choice was confirmed.

It is a graphical server navigator with SQL/Stored Procedure/Trigger and other editors. Personally I really like dbacces, but there's no accounting for taste. Art S. Kagel

Kagel I too like dbaccess (I liked isql even better :-) But there is a tool called WinSQL ( http://www.imranweb.com/ ) that is very nice. Uses ODBC (and thus can connect to virtually any DB). MikeR

Hi Michael, You can also try SPL Workstation. It is designed specifically for Informix and includes graphical database explorers, color-coded editors, stored procedure interactive debugger and other stuff. You can download a copy from www.agsltd.com Regards, Arkady Michael Simons wrote in message <377B2FD2.45932931@laola.de>... >Hi, >i'm new to Ifx.
