Massimo, git it a try to the dialect that Mike passed you. I think it
should give you a better start then using the ibm_db_sa module.

Thank you Richard,
about the 2nd question, sorry but I'm new to SQLAlchemy and trying to
find a way, so using the ORM for SQL access to Informix is my goal.
Following the tutorial, I found for the ORM I have to create a Session
and my guess is for doing this, I need the SQLAlchemy module support
through the ibm_db_sa module. At this time it spits an error because
it expects a DB2 database (no Informix support). Or, is there another
way to do it?
Unfortunately I have no time to contribute to the module for Infornix
support, therefore I'm looking if there is a way to achieve my goal
(that's using the ORM) as it's now.
thanks again for your help,
Massimo Valle

I'm exploring SQLAlchemy features for a new project which must use
an IBM Informix database.
Found the ibm_db and ibm_db_sa modules to integrate with
SQLAlchemy and successfully connected to the database after some
tries.
I found the ibm_db_sa module only supports DB2 and NOT Informix.
At least this is what was answered me on the project page.
Now I have a couple of newbie questions for the SQLAlchemy experts:
1. Does anyone know if the Informix support is something will be
added? (planned, considering). I don't know if this module is
developed from IBM or SQLAlchemy so, I'm not even sure to whom
address this question.
2. I see, I can connect to my Informix database, but can't use the
ibm_db_sa module. Does this mean I can only use SQLAlchemy Core
features and not the ORM? That would be sad since the ORM is
exactly what I planned to use.
Thanks for help,
Massimo Valle
