Informix Client SDK and Informix Connect run on most systems that have a UNIX, Linux, or Windows operating system and, starting with version 3.5, also on the Mac OS X operating system.
This article will explain what are JDBC drivers, how to download the Informix JDBC driver and how to connect to Informix using DbSchema Free Database Designer.
JDBC drivers are Java library files with the extension .jar used by all Java applications to connect to the database. Usually, they are provided by the same company which implemented the Informix software. DbSchema Tool already includes a Informix driver, which is automatically downloaded when you connect to Informix.
Each JDBC driver is using a specific URL. The URL is a string (text) with a specific format, containing information about the host where the database is running, the port, username, database name, etc. The format is specific to each driver. Any wrong character in the URL may make the database connectivity fail, therefore we recommend installing DbSchema and try to get connected. Then you can find the right URL directly in the DbSchema connection dialog.
The driver files are compressed in a zip file.
for any issues with the driver, you can write to us.
Installing DbSchema Free edition will help to test the database connectivity and the JDBC driver URL.
When the download finished please follow this steps:
IBM Informix Client SDK Install 4.10 TC9 for all 32 and 64 bit Windows Systems. Download Now(ZIP file - unpack and run install)
NOTE: IBM finally updated their install package in recent builds so installing this 32 bit version onto 64 bit operating systems should require only that you run the installer executable found in the zip as administrator - I leave the instructions below 'just in case' folks have trouble. I've tested the 4.10 TC6 install on 64 bit versions of Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 with no issue.
-----------
If you are installing the 32 bit version onto a 64 bit OS you might need to prepend the SysWOW64 path temporarily to your %PATH% variable or the install may bark at you. To do this open a comand prompt - be sure to run 'as administrator', go to the folder where the Informix SDK install is at and type:
set PATH=C:WINDOWSSysWOW64;%PATH%
and then launch the setup from the command line and it should go through. The same technique will work for Windows 8 installs, however you have to run the setup in Windows 7 compatibility mode because the Install Anywhere package IBM uses does not work with Windows 8. Here is a short training video showing me setting up the drivers on Windows 8 (5 minute Flash video).
