Hi All,

I have installed IDS 9.4 on win, 2000. I have also installed Informix client-SDK 2.81. I created a system dsn to my database & i can connect thru winsql. Now i need to know what are the parameter that need to be set if i need to connect from JAVA. Do i need to install jdbc drivers or it comes bundled with Informix client. I do not know anyting about java. Pls. let me know the settings.

Regards,

lloyd

hi ,
I don't think JDBC comes with CSDK

JDBC driver is bundled with IDS 9.4 .

You can always download latest JDBC driver from
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/informix/tools/jdbc/

The JDBC Programmers manual is at
http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/ct1utna.pdf


There are no special settings as such as to be able to conenct using JDBC.
(On a side note , JDBC driver does not support shared memory connections , but that shouldn't be issue as you are on windows )

on your sever machine , make sure you add entry to C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\services
for the port number .

If you want to play with JDBC without having to write Java code ,
you can use winSQL lite for JDBC available for free download
from

Hi Amit,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I could download winsql lite for jdbc and connect to my database. Thanks once again.
