These topics describe the applications you can create using IBM® Informix® OLE DB Provider and
describe how to connect to data sources and manipulate data within
your application.
Supported applications
With the IBM Informix OLE DB Provider,
you can create the ADO, C, and C++ applications.
Connect to a data source IBM Informix OLE DB Provider treats
the database (rather than the database server instance) as a data
source.
Support for Dynamic Query Extension
The Dynamic Query Extension feature introduces support
for describing input parameters of a prepared statement. This feature
is an enhancement of the Dynamic SQL functionality of the server.
Support for SQL 99 Joins
The SQL 99 Joins feature extends support for SQL joins
from both within and outside of an escape sequence. This feature requires IBM Informix server-side support
for SQL 99 joins, and only works with IBM Informix Version 9.4 or
later.
