Connecting to Informix

Hey All,

This may be a bit off topic, but I'm looking for recommendations on sources
for OLEDB/ODBC drivers that will allow me to connect w/ ADO.NET to an
informix database hosted locally on a Linux box. I'll admit that next to
being able to connect to an existing driver given a connection string, I'm
not very familiar with the finer points involved.

TIA,

John

Here's one suggestion: Informix has a client software development kit
(CSDK), which you can find online by starting at www.informix.com. It
includes both ODBC and OLEDB providers, as well as a .Net provider which
presumably is for ADO.Net.

HTH,

We need to connect to an in-house informix database from a .NET web application. Any recommendations on: 1. Drivers. 2. Connection strings. 3. Ways to optimize speed? This particular app will be just retrieving and displaying data. No inserts/updates/etc.
