database problem seems unlikely because doing the same sql statement
with informix sql tool, returns expected error messages:

$ echo "INSERT INTO kperson(name, age) VALUES ('Test', '23');" |
dbaccess stammdat

prints to stderr:

  268: Unique constraint (root.u151_174) violated.
  100: ISAM error:  duplicate value for a record with unique key.

Regards,

  Hans
