What’s the best way to connect to a Informix database from .Net?
I’m developing a client-server application based on a legacy Informix DB which used to be connected by JDBC.
I need it, from the most important to the least:
- To be fast
- DB server changes not needed
- No ODBC and no dependencies, other than de .Net Framework 2.0
Thanks in advance for your help.
The connections strings to use with OleDb or ADO.NET can be found here.
