Re: Informix & SQL Server Together
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Some time ago I tried to install SQL7 on one of our development <br>servers (an NT box, v4 sp3) with the idea of running it concurrently <br>with IDS 7.30, which was already up and running in it's usual trouble- <br>free state (I say that having managed Oracle on NT also -- but I <br>digress). <br>Things went well providing I did not have both servers running at the <br>same time and the worst part was the ODBC and conectivity pieces <br>got thoroughly trashed during the install. Wiped out connectivity for <br>Informix <i>and</i> my case tools. My remedy was to uninstalled SQL Server <br>and all my problems went away. <br>The moral to the story is don't let Mr. Bill's toy rdbms infect your <br>healthy Informix environment, install it standalone where it can't hurt <br>anything. <p>have a nice day. <p>pstewart@sky.net wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE>We have a need to run both Informix 7.3 and SQL Server 7.0 on NT on the <br>same server in a development environment for programmers (we do have <br>separate boxes in production).
