Re: Paradox 11 and sql links to Informix

To get the forms and reports running again would mean to go through every
form and to fix the behaviour which is too much effort for staying in
paradox.

to be honest, that much of a re-write should have used a different
front-end, and left paradox for good.. as wonderful as it is/was, it's a
dead platform..

also, bear in mind in your situation that the BDE (the engine driving it
all) has also been dead for five years.. using any internal SQL Link - ODBC
driver will usually be an interface with a very old version of your
platform, with many black holes.. and quite possibly the same result, the
other way around, because ost companies aren't maintaining and updating
their links to the BDE, either..

Can you use an Informix ODBC driver? I've had compatiblility problems
with
SQL links using Oracle and have found the ODBC driver the way to go to
get
around a number of anomolies.

Just a WAG

Hi Folks,

i am trying to port an application from paradox 5 to paradox 11 with sql
links to informix. My problem:

Whenever i get an informix error paradox crashes immediate. Informix
ilogin
works and connects to the database. I attached a debugger to paradox and
found out that the crash is in the informix connection library at
_issek64.
But this crash is only with paradox.

Any help desperatly needed!

Thanks, Dirk.

Yes, i tried using the ODBC driver. That one works but all the data models
are lost when switching to the odbc driver. Also the programs do not
behave
the same way as with informix sql links. To get the forms and reports
running again would mean to go through every form and to fix the behaviour
which is too much effort for staying in paradox.

Ciao, Dirk.
