Informix ODBC Driver Installation

NOTE: Informix database migration is fully supported by Ispirer SQLWays tool only with a driver version of at least 4.1.

To install the ODBC driver for Informix, please follow the steps below:

  1. First, navigate to one of the following links: Download Informix Client SDK or IBM Informix Client SDK downloads. Please note that access to these links may require prior registration and login on the official IBM website: https://www.ibm.com/.
  2. Once redirected, you will be prompted to complete the required registration or authorization information in order to obtain access to the download resources.
  3. After successfully submitting the requested information, a list of available Informix drivers will be displayed.
  4. From the list, select the driver that corresponds to your operating system and platform.
  5. Once selected, the download option will become available, allowing you to download the driver package.

Using the provided links, find the driver with the required version and download it. Please, note that if you are using the 32-bit version of Ispirer Toolkit, you need to install the 32-bit driver and the 64-bit version of Ispirer Toolkit requires the 64-bit driver.

Then you will need to start the installation process:

  • Click the “Next” button on the “Welcome” page:

  • Then you will need to read and accept the license agreement and click “Next”

  • Provide User information and click “Next”

  • Select the “Complete” installation type

  • Click the “Install” button and wait for the installation process is finished.

  • Click the “Finish” button.

As soon as the client is installed, the “ODBC Data Source Administrator” must be updated with the appropriate driver (If you are using the 64-bit version of Windows, you can find the 32-bit “ODBC Data Source Administrator” in this directory: c:\Windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe):

If the appropriate driver is there, the installation is complete.


After the installation process is finished, please set up the ODBC connection to your Informix database. Here you can find a step by step guide on how to do that: Informix ODBC Driver Configuration.
