Dear all, I've come across an issue that, in the end, turns out to be a major problem. As from V7.x the Informix Development Environment is no longer available. I don't know if this is a Foxboro or Solaris issue. We use esql extensively in our applications on the AP (V6.2.1) and, on our newly installed AW (V7.x), this is no longer available. The Foxboro solution is to maintain at least 1 box on V6.5 or less which is really defeating the purpose of our upgrade to the Blade series hardware. As a trial I've copied /opt/informix/lib/esql/* to the Blade and successfully recompiled our applications. This is offcourse a very temporary fix. I still can't do any sql queries on the tables using isql. Now my question is, are there any alternatives for Informix available? I would not have a problem with a second RDB side by side with Informix, that has a decent Development Environment.
