• HReadxxx functions (HReadNext, HModify, etc.) can be used on Informix databases. This means that an Informix database and an HFSQL database can be handled with the same commands. Porting an existing application to external databases is simplified.
• The RAD allows you to generate the code with the Hxxx functions (HReadNext, ...) or with the SQLxxx functions.
• Direct access to an Informix database with no intermediate layer: MDAC, OLE DB and ODBC are useless.
• WDMAP (the data viewer) can be used on your Informix databases (via the 32-bit client layer).
• The HFSQL Control Center can be used on your Informix databases (CC26HF.exe for the 32-bit client layers and CC26HF64.exe for the 64-bit client layers). This allows you to perform queries directly and to view the Informix data.
• The setup is straightforward: No OLE DB or ODBC layer required on the user computer.
• All versions of Informix databases are supported
• etc.

• This version of Native Informix Connector operates with WINDEV and WEBDEV 26.
