Matrixmadhan,
Before IBM bought Informix in 2001, Informix had separated its development
tools into three different groups:
1) Informix 4GL (for programmers).
2) isql (for non-programmers).
3) dbaccess (for database administrators).
Both 'isql' and 'dbaccess' have a lot of commom functions, but there are
several mutually exclusive functions.
Among other functions, 'dbaccess' does not have 'Forms' or 'Reports'.
Among other functions, 'isql' cannot create stored procedures nor perform
some database and table maintenance.
As far as I know, IBM-Informix supports both 'isql' and 'dbaccess'.
