README for Informix CLI on Unix
===============================

To get DBD::ODBC 1.01 to work on Solaris 7, there were a number of
changes.

To build DBD::ODBC 1.01 with the changes in place, the compilation
sequence was:

perl Makefile.PL -o $INFORMIXDIR

This locates the CLI (ODBC) libraries in $INFORMIXDIR/lib/cli and the
header files in $INFORMIXDIR/incl/cli.

When testing, ensure that your database is a logged database; DBD::ODBC
does not seem to be happy with unlogged databases with no transactional
support.  If you need to access such databases, you probably need to use
DBD::Informix, which is acquainted with the peculiarities of Informix's
different database logging modes.  Non-Informix drivers such as
DBD::ODBC probably can't be expected to oblige with the detailed changes
necessary to handle them.
