Beginner Informix Question

Hi All,

I was just given an OLD SCO box that has Informix on it, it's been a while since I've worked in Informix, but I need to get into the DB and get somethings out and export the data before box dies.

From a SCO prompt...how do I get into the database? There is no GUI installed and I just don't remember the command to get to a SQL prompt.


Sorry for the blaringly simple question...but what can I say, it's been a couple of years.

If it's Standard Engine (SE) enter isql <cr> at the command prompt, if it's Dynamic Server (IDS) it's dbaccess <cr>
