I have recently installed Informix v11.5 trial
No previous experince with any database
I Install it as per its GUI
I then go to
Start ---> ALL Programs--->IBM Informix Client-SDK 3.50--> ILoginDemo-->
(ILogin Window Pops up) File --->RUN-->(LOgin Parameters Window Pops up) Ok

Then i Get (Database 'Stores7' not found on the server)

Note:- the installation is done on a standalone pc which is not connected to any other system or any server consider it a home pc.
Does this mean that i have properly installed eclipse or does it mean that there is an error

Why are you asking on eclipse, if you installed informix?
It looks like you don't have stores7 database on the server.
In Start->All programs go to the Informix menu(not Informix client menu) and run command line/prompt with profile information. Then run dbaccess and you will see your databases (if any).

Your install is connecting ok. However the "stores7" db is missing. This is a demo db that is often *not* installed with the software.

If you had a connection problem w/ ilogin, it would say something like access denied.
