Supporting GLS in IBM Informix Client Applications

To connect to a database, an ESQL/C client application requests a connection from the database server. The database server must verify that it can access the database and establish the connection between the client and the database. Your client application performs the following tasks:

• Sends its client and database locale information to the database server

  The ESQL/C program performs this step automatically when it requests a connection.

• Checks for connection warnings that the database server generates

  You must include code in your ESQL/C program to perform this step.
