Details on configuring an informix odbc dsn are available from the informix dynamic server information center. Incorrect password or user is not known on the database server.Note, the ibm informix sdk limits passwords used for authenticating against the odbc service on unity connection to 18 characters. Use isql -v to get a more detailed messageĭata source name not found, and no default driver specifiedĭatabase not found or no system permission. Troubleshooting Some typical errormessages isql errormessage usr/local/bin/isql (if your compiled unixODBC from source) or /usr/bin/isql (unixODBC installed as package) $ echo "SELECT FIRST 1 DBINFO('dbname') FROM systables" | /usr/local/bin/isql informixtestdsn username password
The configured dsn can be tested with isql: driver: unixODBC will use the specified driverĭriver=/opt/IBM/informix/lib/cli/iclit09b.soįor testing you need to set these environment varibles: export INFORMIXDIR=/opt/IBM/informixĮxport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql If you have compiled unixODBC from source as described in the previous article, you will use /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini.įor each connection a datasource name dsn is configured in odbc.ini informixtestdsn is the datasource name (not case sensitive) The file odbc.ini in usually located /usr/local/etc/odbc.ini, /etc/odbc.ini, /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini. Next step is to integrate the Informix ODBC Driver into unixODBC. As an alternative, you can specify the ip address here. The network name of the server where your Informix database is running. You get this name from your Informix admin Is the informix DBSERVERNAME (not the name of the linux server where the database is running). Ol_informix1210 onsoctcp myinformixserver.local 9889 The file /opt/IBM/informix/etc/sqlhosts contains a list of informix databases, more info you get from your Informix database admin and find in the file /opt/IBM/informix/etc/sqlhosts.std # file /opt/IBM/informix/etc/sqlhosts In this example as installation directory is set to the default value /opt/IBM/informix Installation in gui mode Screenshots Global Language Support (GLS) West European and Americas.If you have an X11 client you may run the installer in gui (graphical) mode, otherwise you can use console mode. In the directory doc/ you find the documenation. I created a directory /opt/install/informix and copied the tar file to this directory cd /opt/install/informix UnixODBC should be installed first, see Unix ODBC Installation Extract tar file to installation directory I used a search engine for Informix Client SDK.ĭownload Informix Client SDK Developer Edition for Linux x86_64, 64-bit.Ī time of writing this is Version 4.10.FC8DE, filename is clientsdk.4.10. Informix Client SDK Installation Prerequisites
The Informix ODBC Driver is part of the Informix Client SDK. To access a Informix Database via unixODBC you need a driver.
