• HReadxxx functions (HReadNext, HModify, etc.) can be used on Informix databases. This means that an Informix database and an HFSQL database can be handled with the same commands. Porting an existing application to external databases is simplified.
• The RAD allows you to generate the code with the Hxxx functions (HReadNext, ...) or with the SQLxxx functions.
• Direct access to Informix base without intermediate layer: MDAC unnecessary, OLE DB unnecessary, ODBC unnecessary.
• WDMAP (the data viewer) can be used on your Informix databases (via the 32-bit client library).
• The HFSQL Control Center can be used on your Informix databases (CC30HF.exe for the 32-bit client libraries and CC30HF64.exe for the 64-bit client libraries). This allows you to perform queries directly and to view the Informix data.
• The setup is child's play: No OLE DB or ODBC layer to install on the end-user computer.
• All versions of Informix databases are supported
• etc.

• This version of the Native Informix Connector works with WINDEV and WEBDEV 2025.
• This version of the Informix Native Connector does not work with the following products: Informix Standard Edition (SE), Informix OnLine and Informix C-ISAM.

Native Informix Connector requirements

• Informix client library 3.34.0.11061 (version checked by our services) must be installed.
• The ICLIT09B.DLL DLL (version checked by our services) must be accessible:
  • from the development computer.
  • from the deployment computer.

1. Create a "WDIFMX.INI" file in the Windows directory (C:\WINDOWS for example).
2. Add the following information into the "WDIFMX.INI" file:

Required files

• ICLIT09B.DLL (version tested by us): This DLL is installed by the Informix client library.. For more details, see the license agreement of Informix about the distribution conditions of this DLL.
• wd30 0ifmx.dll: Necessary for Native Connector a 32-bit Informix database. This file is supplied with Native Connector for Informix.
• wd30 0ifmx64.dll: Necessary for Native Connector a 64-bit Informix database. This file is supplied with Native Connector for Informix.

Using Native Informix Connector in your WINDEV applications and WEBDEV websites

• with the "SQL" functions of WLanguage (see Programming with SQL functions).
• with the "HFSQL" functions of WLanguage (see Programming with HFSQL functions).

• For more details, see specifics concerning the use of the Informix Native Connector.
• The "Crear automáticamente los archivos de datos al abrirlos" option ("Files" tab in the project description) is taken into account by the Native Informix Connector.
