WDB Informix Interface

by Curtis Wong (office curtis@ana.com, home curtis@crl.com)

The isql_dbi.pl file makes it possible to use WDB to interface to Informix instead of Sybase.

Requirements

You need isqlperl (perl 4.036 + Informix development libaries) to use the wdb Informix interface. Check the perl archives for the isqlperl sources.

Install isqlperl ( If you haven't got it already ). Isqlperl is a set of user-defined subroutines letting you access an Informix data server using Perl. You will need the Informix development system to build isqlperl.

Configuration

Follow the normal WDB configuration instructions, with the following exceptions :

Creating FDF's

Included is also an Informix version of mkfdf, called isqlfdf, which will produce a working template FDF file given a database and table name.

Example

A sample form for the Informix Demo Stores database is included in the fdf/stores directory.

- Have fun.
