[mapguide-users] RE: RE: Informix database support

[Ismael Cams]

Hello Dave,

the used driver for the Informix database is: IBM Informix 3.82 32 Bit (I
have attached the DSN configuration in attachment).
The key column for the table was defaulted, so I did not have to select one.
On the other hand I had to select the Geometry column in the Studio when I
created the layer. This was not by default completed.
When I try to create a thematic and use the get button for retrieving the
distinct values I get following error:

An exception occurred in FDO component.
RDBMS: [Informix][Informix ODBC driver][Informix]A syntax error has
occurred.

I have tried it also with the latest MapGuide version (1.2 Beta) but
unfortunately the same problem occurs. 

Is there anything else I can try or maybe a possible workaround to overcome
this problem. As all the x-y coordinates are stored in the informix database
it is really blocking me.

Kind regards,
Ismaël
