Hi, I have Informix 9.2 on Solaris and IIS on XP professional. when I run SQL statement, $conn_id = ifx_connect ("dbname@ol_srv", "name", "pwd"); $qry = " SELECT a,b FROM c "; if (! $conn_id) { printf("Cannot connect to the DB SERVER."); } $res = ifx_query($qry,$conn_id); I will get error: Warning: ifx_query(): Describe fails (E [SQLSTATE=37 000 SQLCODE=-410]) The same SQL statement run corectly with ODBC. $conn_id = odbc_connect ("odbc_alias", "name", "pwd"); $qry = " SELECT a,b FROM c "; if (! $conn_id) { printf("Cannot connect to the DB SERVER."); } $res = odbc_exec($conn_id,$qry); Thank's for help.
