Although the bit level is not significant for determining which one to use, it is important to note that the ODBC manager for 64 bit Windows is 64 bit. If you use a 64 bit CSDK, you will have no issues. Devart ODBC Driver for Oracle provides high-performance and feature-rich connectivity solution for ODBC -based applications to access Oracle databases from Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, both 32-bit and 64-bit. Oracle Odbc Driver 64-bit; Informix Odbc Driver Windows 7 64 Bit; The Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator is used by DB2 to create an ODBC DSN. By default on a Windows 64-bit server, when the 'MicroSoft ODBC Data Source administrator' is run, it will launch the 64-bit version of odbcad32.exe, which can be used to create DSNs pointing to 64. The DataDirect Connect for ODBC and DataDirect Connect64 for ODBC Informix Wire Protocol driver (the Informix Wire Protocol driver) each support multiple connections to the Informix Dynamic Server. Download the IBM Informix Client SDK3.50 – I used version 3.50.FC8 – for operating system Windows (64bit). I found that the Infomix Connect 2.90 (choose the 64 bit option) also works – but you’ll have to run it as Administrator on Windows 7. Edit c:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/services and add. Sqlexec 1526/tcp # on the last line. Note the hash(#) at the end of the line. Our Single-Tier ODBC Drivers for Informix are a single component installed on a data-consuming machine - depending on the architecture in which the driver is deployed, either a client such as a desktop, a workstation or an application-server machine. No components need be installed on the database server.

Can't connect to Informix from 64-Bit OS

Informix Odbc Driver 64 Bit Download
My migration to Windows Server 2003 64-bit was going pretty smooth until I tried to connect to our Informix DB.
I have installed the IBM Informix Client SDK. I went through setnet and set up the connections. I used the ILogin demo and tested it and it works. So I know that part is good.
In my application, I am using SQL Server Reporting Services to pull data from the Informix DB. In the old 32-bit environment it worked pretty well. To connect to Informix from a Reporting Services Data Source I should be able to use either OLE DB or ODBC. After testing both from Reporting Services on the new 64-bit machine neither worked. So I figured I'd make an ODBC connection manually and test it in the Admin tool. I could not find the drivers listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator tool. But then I found some posts about using the administrator from this location: C:WINDOWSSysWOW64odbcad32.exe. So I figured I was on the right track. I used that tool, created the connection and tested it. It works. But still Reporting Services could not connect using that DSN, or even a fully figured ODBC connection string.
I also created a quick windows forms app to test with. From that app, I could not connect to the Informix database using OLE DB or ODBC. My guess is that the 64-bit OS doesn't know where to find the Informix 32-bit drivers that I am using. I can't find a download for the 64-bit drivers for Windows.
The exceptions thrown are:

Does anyone know how to resolve this?
