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
