Install and configure Informix OLE DB Provider

Informix® OLE DB Provider is distributed with Informix Connect and the Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK).

When you install the Client SDK, Informix OLE DB Provider is installed by default. The installation includes other necessary components and performs required updates to the registry.

After installation, you must run the script coledbp.sql on the Informix server against the sysmaster database as user informix. Informix OLE DB Provider requires the stored procedures added to the server by the coledbp.sql script. The script is located in the INFORMIXDIR\etc directory. (To remove the stored procedures, you can run the doledbp.sql against the sysmaster database as user informix.)
