Problem connecting to informix database

Post by brol7 »

Hi there!

I get this error when trying to connect to my informix database.

"java.sql.SQLException: Method not supported : IfxDatabaseMetaData.getJDBCMajorVersion()"

Can anyone help me with a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

The JDBC driver you are using seems not to properly implement one of the JDBC API methods.
From where did you download the JDBC driver for informix and how did you install it in Oxygen?

Hi,

We downloaded from IBM the official Informix JDBC client installer, created in the Oxygen Data Sources preferences page a data source and connection based on the client libraries and were successful in connecting to an Informix server using the Data Source Explorer view from Oxygen.

Thank you very much for your help! So it has to be a driver issue then. My driver works for SQuirreL so that's what made me wonder. I'll try installing the latest driver.
