Hello,
 
i would like to make an odbc connection to our C-ISAM database from informix. I tried to use Easysoft ODBC for C-ISAM. Though, this software assumes that i type in the datadictionary manually. This means about 200 tables with on average 20 records.
 
Does anyone know if this is common when you want to access a C-ISAM database with ODBC? Or does anyone know a ODBC driver which can import the datadictionary so that i dont have to type it all in manually.
 
Kind regards
 
 
Johan

If you're using a pure C-ISAM database, then there is no standard
central dictionary for anything to analyse, so you need to do the
defining of the schema by whatever methods work for you -- possibly
typing manually, possibly doing some research to obtain or generate the
appropriate data automatically.

If you're really using an SE database, which uses C-ISAM internally,
then you can probably use the DB-Schema or similar facility to generate
the SQL schema, and then translate that into what the Easysoft ODBC for
C-ISAM expects.
