ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Configuring an INFORMIX 5 Data Source ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Data Source Name:
A string that identifies this INFORMIX data source configuration in
ODBC.INI. Examples include "Accounting" or "INFORMIX-Serv1."
Description:
An optional long description of a data source name. For example, "My
Accounting Database" or "INFORMIX 5 files on Server number 1."
Database Name:
The name of the database to which you want to connect by default.
The following values are optional:
Database List:
The list of databases that will be displayed in the logon dialog box.
If Get DB List From Informix is set to 1, the list of databases that
will be displayed in the logon dialog box is created from the
database list returned for INFORMIX at logon time. When you specify
databases, separate the names with commas.
Default User Name:
The name of the user as specified on the INFORMIX 5 server.
Host Name:
The name of the machine on which the INFORMIX 5 server resides.
Service Name:
The name of the service as it appears on the host machine. This
service is assigned by the system administrator. The name you
specify is displayed in the INFORMIX Server Options dialog box.
Protocol Type:
The protocol used to communicate with the server. Specify one or more
values; separate the names with commas. Values can be FTP, IPX,
LANMAN, TCP-IP. This list is displayed in the Logon Options dialog
box.
Yield Proc:
This attribute is not available in OS/2. A numeric value that
determines whether you can work in other Windows applications when
INFORMIX 5 is busy.
Cursor Behavior:
Select Preserve if you want cursors to be held at the current
position when the transaction ends. Otherwise, leave this set to
Close. Selecting Preserve may impact the performance of your
database operations.
Enable Scrollable Cursors:
A value that determines whether the driver can use scrollable
cursors. The initial default value is 0 (no use of scrollable
cursors). The INFORMIX driver can use scollable cursors only if there
are no long columns (SQL_LONGVARCHAR or SQL_LONGVARBINARY) in a
Select list. If you set this option to use scrollable cursors
(EnableScrollableCursors=1), you must not include long columns in the
Select list.
Get DB List from Informix:
A value that determines whether the driver requests the database list
to be returned from the INFORMIX server or from the database list
that the user entered at driver setup.
When set to 1, the default, the driver requests the database list
from the INFORMIX server. When set to 0, it uses the list entered by
the user at driver setup.
Translate

translation of your data from one character set to another. Choose the
