Usage notes
- If no dbservername is specified, defaults to INFORMIXSERVER
- If no username or password are specified, defaults to the user running the web server and his credentials
- A sequence must be created for each table in the form #{tablename}_seq:
create table customers(id serial, name varchar(40)); create sequence customers_seq;
- BYTE/TEXT columns must allow NULLs
- Prefer Informix 10 over Informix 9. Rails/Informix makes use of the SKIP option for pagination, which is only available since Informix 10.
