A database driver for Django to connect to an Informix database via informixdb python module.

Some limitations: - Do not support default values

Configure local environment

The following environment variable should exist: - INFORMIXDIR - INFORMIXSERVER - INFROMIXSQLHOSTS

You need to create a sqlhosts file configuring remote/local informix server connection information like the following:

ifxserver    onsoctcp     xxx.yy.com  1234
local_ifxserver1    onsoctcp     *  4567

Configure custom.py

Django’s custom.py require the following format to connect to a informix db:

'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django_informixdb',
    'NAME': 'myproject',
    'SERVER': 'ifxserver',
    'USER' : 'testuser',
    'PASSWORD': 'passw0rd',
}

Corresponding informixdb python connection:

import informixdb
conn = informixdb.connect('myproject@ifxserver', 'testuser', 'passw0rd')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('select tabname from systables')
cursor.fetchall()
cursor.close()
conn.close()
