Hi, finally I got it working, but have some questions left.
The minimum configuration I need is to install INFORMIX and then to have the following seetings: set INFORMIXSERVER=myPreferredInformixServerName set INFORMIXDIR=c:\Programme\Informix\Client-SDK and this registry key: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Informix\SqlHosts\myPreferredInformixServerName] "HOST"="theHostNameOfTheDatabase" "SERVICE"="the service from WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ETC" "PROTOCOL"="onsoctcp" What is not really clear to me is: Do I use now an Windows-ODBC-Connection instead of a direct connection? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-connect-to-informix-DB-in-an-easy-way-tp25076131p25112024.html Sent from the Python - db-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
