Thank you Richard, about the 2nd question, sorry but I'm new to SQLAlchemy and trying to find a way, so using the ORM for SQL access to Informix is my goal. Following the tutorial, I found for the ORM I have to create a Session and my guess is for doing this, I need the SQLAlchemy module support through the ibm_db_sa module. At this time it spits an error because it expects a DB2 database (no Informix support). Or, is there another way to do it? Unfortunately I have no time to contribute to the module for Infornix support, therefore I'm looking if there is a way to achieve my goal (that's using the ORM) as it's now.
thanks again for your help, Massimo Valle On Monday, May 19, 2014 1:50:04 PM UTC+2, Massimo Valle wrote: > > I'm exploring SQLAlchemy features for a new project which must use an IBM > Informix database. > Found the ibm_db and ibm_db_sa modules to integrate with SQLAlchemy and > successfully connected to the database after some tries. > > I found the ibm_db_sa module only supports DB2 and NOT Informix.
