Informix ClientSDK on freeBSD

Hi,

I've read the limited information there are on Internet about this theme and some people say that this work should be done with SCO OpenServer CSDK (IBM - Informix Client Software Development Kit - System requirements for SCO - OpenServer) plus the binary emulation of CSO and others that it should be done with the Linux CSDK.

- Which option do you consider better?
- Using SCO CSDK, where the binary emulation is?
- Using Linux CSDK, which Linux (IBM Software - Informix product family - Informix CSDK for Linux)?

The goal of this is to be able to use unixODBC to handle connections. If you know a better option, please tell me.


I appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks in advance...

	      o DSN prefix
		- The DSN prefix is informix:.

	      o DSN
		- The DSN can be either a data source setup using odbc.ini or a complete connection string.

	      [Infdrv33]
	      Driver=/opt/informix/csdk_2.81.UC1G2/lib/cli/iclis09b.so
	      Description=INFORMIX 3.3 32-BIT
	      Database=common_db
	      LogonID=testuser
	      pwd=testpass
	      Servername=ids_server
	      DB_LOCALE=en_US.819
	      OPTIMIZEAUTOCOMMIT=1
