Hi,
I’m planing to migrate and testing the new version of PowerBuilder, 2017-R3.
Currently we have version 8.0 installed and we want to migrate our application to the latest version. We work with Informix Database.
The reason for this change is we are in need to change a datatype field in a table from SERIAL to BIGSERIAL.
To do this, we had to change the SDK from 32-bit to 64-bit. So, initially we were working with Informix SDK 2.90 32-bit and we had to install SDK 4.10 64-bit so our Query tool is able to see the new field, Otherwise we have the following message: "The data type (bigserial) is not supported for current client/server configuration."
Once we upgrade the driver, we are able to run any query.
Having updated you with our main issue, let’s get back to PowerBuilder matter:
I created an ODBC connection using Informix 4.10 64-bit and I called Grace64 and I’m able to use it for queries with no issues
So, when I’m trying to create a new ODBC connection in PowerBuilder, I’m not able to see this Data Source in the dropdown list, so there is no way to create a profile, I tried other options for Informix which are I10 Informix v10.x|v12x and IN9 Informix v9.x.
I was able to create these connections using these PB Drivers, but I’m not able to create a Datawindow properly for this table, once it’s created. ignores the BIGSERIAL fields.
When I try to update the Datawindow’s SQL manually, I got this Powerbuilder error:
"The data type (bigserial) is not supported for current client/server configuration. Do you want to correct errors?"
How can I make it works.
Best Regards
