Question:
I have installed the Informix-CLI SDK 2.40 (driver ODBC rev. 3.31) both in Windows 98se and NT 4 sp4, and I’ve encountered a problem with Visual Studio Data View when try to see tables from an Informix DB running on an AIX 4.3 host. I have problems with numeric data; the view is incorrect (0 when it must be 1). An older version of CLI SDK works correctly.
Answer:
I’ve seen several reports of strange behavior in 3.31. If an earlier version works better, stay with it. Give the latest version a few releases to work all the kinks out.
