Hi Calven,

On Mac. I've actually managed to connect to Informix using SQLGrinder but it still doesn't show any of the tables/views. When I try to do a select it
tells me that the database has not been selected.

Here is my connection string:
jdbc:informix-sqli://ip:port:informixserver=servername

This is a custom JDBC URL because otherwise there is no place to put in the informixserver variable. And now, as you can see, there is no place for the
databasename variable.  Do you know how to correct this?

No, never used it.  Do the Informix docs not state this?

In desperation, one might consult Google...

BTW - EOModeler, doesn't connect and says "an error occurred".  Great.
Thanks.

There is your problem! Entity Modeler produces much better error messages.

On Windows or Mac?  Does your application work?  Did you put the
driver in /Library/Java/Extensions?  Did you try setting
driver=<class name> in the connection dictionary?

Hi Albert,

EOModeler says it cant find the driver after I installed the IBM one.

Any suggestions on what to do next?  What should I be checking for
to make sure the driver is in the right place?

Here is a link to IBM’s JDBC driver:

go=y&rs=ifxjdbc <http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/
search.jsp?go=y&amp;rs=ifxjdbc>

I use it in one of my applications to pull data from another
campus database, I am not sure the exact version of Informix they
are running, the only issue is if they take down their database
for an upgrade or something I have to restart my WO app, the
driver won’t automatically establish a new connection.

Subject: Connecting to Informix

Hi All,

Has anyone connected to Informix 9.x, from their WO projects?

I’ve tried to find drivers for the Mac to connect via ODBC or
JDBC.  No luck. (My deployment environment will be Windows Server
2003)

Any assistance would be grateful.

Calven
