Creating a database connection in the broker against an Informix V7.2 database the COLUMNS are not there. It picks up all the table names, but no columns.
Using JDBC3 drivers for Informix?
Can we use ODBC drivers? How do you set it up?

Wire protocol drivers are provided only for Oracle,SQL server and Sybase flavors. You need to install the clients for Informix and DB2 databases. _________________ IBM ->Let's build a smarter planet |

Thanks...we did install the JDBC3 drivers for Informix before we tried to make a db connection. It is correctly connecting from the "Test" button. But when it creates all the tables...no column information. We are thinking...unsupported version? _________________ If you do not know the answer or you get the urge to answer with "RTFM" or "Search better in this forum", please refrain from doing so, just move on to the next question.

I'm not not sure what you meant - Message Broker 6.1 does include support for Informix. _________________ Bill Matthews |

Thank you for the information. We do have correct client installed...but server is older, but we want to give it a bash anyway.
I'm not DB skilled, so any kind soul out there that can tell me what I must select in the DB connection "especially which CLASS" to use, I've got the other parameters. I guess what I'm asking is how do I point to the V2.9 client to use it.

It does include support for it, yes, but I can't find documentation on which class to select, how to set up ODBC for informix. _________________ If you do not know the answer or you get the urge to answer with "RTFM" or "Search better in this forum", please refrain from doing so, just move on to the next question.

If you need to point the broker to connect to informix, set up the DSN parameters in $ODBCINI and in the Driver parameter locate the library that is obtained from the client installation. _________________ IBM ->Let's build a smarter planet |
