Informix database

Hi,

see DBI: R/S-Plus Database Interface, maybe it could
help you:

I found:

Other Database Connections from S-Plus

Depending on the platform it's running, S-Plus
provides access to some DBMS through the
importData/exportData functions. Under Microsoft
Windows you may import/export data through ODBC; under
Solaris (and only Solaris) you may import data from
Informix, Oracle, and Sybase. See also the function
executeSQL.

Best regards
Vito

We use Informix database. I was able to connect to the
database with
S-PLUS by using its CONNECT/Java through the JDBC
driver.
How can I connect to Informix with R, wither using
JDBC or any other
method? we run Linux so I prefer a method other than
ODBC.

Thankx for the help

There is no DBI implementation for Informix. I would appreciate some
pointers to R's Java extension, if exists.
I already have a solution for S-PLUS. I am interested in finding one
for R to compare the two, otherwise my company will go with S-PLUS.
