Basically, I am asking if it is possible to use SSMS (Query Analyzer window) with Informix. I am thinking linked server. If I have the ODBC driver installed on my workstation (win 7 pro VM workstation -- SSMS on same VM machine) is this doable? Do I just do the standard linked server routine or is there a special way (if it is even doable).
View 4 RepliesHi, folks!
I want to pump data from Informix to SQL Server using DTS to fill / fresh up my SQL-Server data warehouse every day.
In the SQL documentation I found "Don't use the ODBC driver from Informix"
Which is a good choice of ODBC/OLE-DB drivers to deal with Informix via SQL servers DTS?
Regards from Berlin!

We are upgrading our server to 64 bit Server 2003 and SQL 2005 and have a problem with getting odbc connectivity for one application. We are working with a program called DataExtend for replication between sites. It is provided a part of the package from our software vendor. At present DataExtend does not have a 64 ODBC driver. Their 32 bit driver did install when the software was installed but did not setup correctly. We looked at a current 32 bit system and copied the ODBCINST.INI registry key to the new server making sure the paths were correct. When I go to create an odbc connection I receive "Setup Routines for DataXtend SQL Server ODBC Driver could not be loaded due to System Error Code 193". Does anyone know how to get these drivers to work with our 64 bit environment.
Thanks In Advance,

Could someone tell me how to use a query with a "connection string" to connect to an ODBC driver and retrieve data from its tables. I am new at this and have been having a lot of trouble connecting from the SSIS manager. If someone has a tutorial on how to do this. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Hi,
Please help share with me if you know the version compatibility matrix of Ms SQL Server, ODBC driver (sqlsrv32.dll), Driver Manager (odbc32.dll) and ODBC API spec. For instance, how can I know Ms SQL Server 2000 can work with which version of sqlsrv32.dll, a particular version of sqlsrv32.dll can work with which version of odbc32.dll and a certain version of sqlsrv32.dll/odbc32.dll conforms to which version of ODBC API spec (e.g. 3.5).
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

trying to install sql server2005 on a windows 2003 server box.
getting msg below at the sql server . i looked at other posts on trying to uninstall SQL Native Access Client and norton antivirus. i could never find the snac on the add - remove programs and this server does not have a virus protection program yet.
here's the history of the installs on the server:
wanted to test a 2005 upgrade so:
1) installed sql server 2000 then sp4 then restored some databases to it - all OK
2) tried to upgrade to sql 2005 but ran into problems and left it at that.
had a disk drive crash on the d drive so lost the installs but not the operating system
when the drive was replaced, left alone for a while
then wanted to test a straight 2005 install
1) removed the broken 2005 attempt
2) removed the 2000
3) installed 2005 and got the error on the subject line:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup
------------------------------
SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online.
i've gone through as many of the forums that i can and have tried several things - like uninstalling 2005 and installing pieces and parts but but nothing seems to work.
Thanks!

i am attempting to run phpbb using ms sql 2005 on the same box but get the following error during the setup
Could not connect to the database, see error message below.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
i am not sure yet if this is an issue with sql, php or phpbb
php is installed in iis and has all the modules installed which the php msi installer supported. i can run php code but in this case when i'm running the install.php file for the phphbb setup, i fill in the values for the database and got that error
phpbb detects all the required server settings and sees that i have ms sql installed
any suggestions on what that error means or how to go about configuring odbc driver?
probably a simple issue. but i'm still new with sql stuff

Hi,
I am using VB.NET 2005 and set up an ODBC connection via ODBC.ODBCConnection to a MDB database. Therefor, I use the "Microsoft Access ODBC Driver (*.mdb)".
When I set up a ODBCCommand like "ALTER DATABASE..." or "CREATE TABLE..." and issue it with the com.ExecuteNonQuery() command, I get an error from ODBC driver, that a SQL statement has to begin with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
How can I use DDL statements via ODBC?
I would appreciate if you could help me to use ODBC for that - no OLE, no ADO.
Thanks for help!

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to hit an informix box... I've found two software packages (both priced in the THOUSANDS of dollars)... Looking for a cheap...er, a FREE way to hit this informix box via DTS.
Thank you!
hi all,
Happy new year!
is anybody here familiar with the different informix ODBC protocol
such as Sesoctcp and onsoctcp and the rest of the protocols
I think my SSIS design is affected by this protocols i'm having problems with
the unicode and non unicode conversion.

Help!
I'm trying to create a simple .dtsx package that imports data to SQL server 2005 from an informix 7.3 db using an ADO.net ODBC connection. I am first creating the groundwork for the dtsx package in SQL server using the wizard, and then editing the file later in visual studio.
My data source SQL in the dataflow task is simple and it works great until I hit a locked record on the Informix database.
select <coulmns>
from <table>
Where <condition>
The work around syntax for the locked row on the informix DB should be:
set isolation to dirty read
go
select <coulmns>
from <table>
where <condition>
This syntax will return the data correctly using a non-microsoft SQL editor, however it will will not parse corectly within visual studio. Interestingly enough, in visual studio I can parse the islolation and the select indenpendantly, just not in the same statement.
Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas on what I can do to resolve my problem?
Thanks in advance!
I'm having trouble using Informix 2000 database as a source. I have an OpenLink v 5.2 driver installed and a System DSN set up. I can successfully test the connection.
I added the ADO.Net DSN to the connection manager and added it to a DataReader Source. I then added the SQLCommand property. I was able to map columns (took a long time for the columns to show up) and then I get an error: "Function sequence error:". Can not save the DataReader.
I am trying to read an Informix 9.3 blob field into a TSQL (SQL Server Stored Procedure) and the data type conversion is not supported thru the MS ODBC Driver installed with Win2000/SQL2000. Does anyone know of another method to retrieve this data, or of a vendor that provides an ODBC driver that supports the Informix blob data type. Thanks!
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat can be the reason(s) why I can't get data from a linked server using an ODBC datasource that works fast & fine from MS Access?
I have an ODBC connection (System DSN) configured for an Informix ODBC driver.
The Test button (belonging to this driver-setup) reports a successfull connection test.
Getting data from this database by linking tables in MS Access works fast and easy.
But I have tried for many days now to setup a linked server from SQL Server (2005)
Creation goes fine, but as soon as I issue a query, (e.g. 'select * from infrem723...remotetable' or using 'openquery')
I get the following error:

Hi everyone. I'm trying to switch from using Access, to using Sql Server to create my databases. The first thing I'd like to do, is connect to our CMS (Call Management System) to start creating reports on some of our data. I can't seem to figure out how to connect to it though. In Access, I use an ODBC connection. I installed a "Generic 32 Bit Driver" and I created a .dsn file called Lucent.dsn that Access uses to connect to the Informix database. I guess my question is, what is the connection string and where does it go? I've searched on this forum and on a few others and I can't seem to find help for someone as new as me!
Thanks for any help!

I am presently using Client Access ODBC driver (32-bit) to connect to the AS400. I have set up a linked server that enables me to run queries against the AS400 using the driver. However I seek to have a driver that could give better performance. Right now I can extract 6 million rows from the AS400 table in like 2 hrs. Now is there an ODBC driver that can do better than that? Also I seek an evaluation edition of the driver if possible. Moreover I am the only developer and so a single user license is what I can have my supervisor budget.

Hi,
I have the following requirement :
I need to have a way to intercept the SQL queries from an application written in VB and using a ODBC driver and modify the SQL queries before it goes through the ODBC driver and then to the database. This I need to do without modifying the original application.
The solution I have in mind is to write a ODBC virtual driver and configure my application to use my virtual ODBC driver. The ODBC virtual driver in turn will use the actual ODBC driver to the database. The virtual driver will basically intercept the SQL queries, modify it and then give it to the real ODBC driver.
My question is
1. Is this a feasible solution?
2. What should I do in order to implement the vitrtual ODBC driver.
3. Any pointer will be appreciated.
Thanks
Jake.
