Function: sql-informix

sql-informix is an autoloaded, interactive and byte-compiled function defined in sql.el.gz.

Signature

(sql-informix &optional BUFFER)

Documentation

Run dbaccess by Informix as an inferior process.

If buffer *SQL* exists but no process is running, make a new process. If buffer exists and a process is running, just switch to buffer
*SQL*.

Interpreter used comes from variable sql-informix-program. Login uses the variable sql-database as default, if set.

The buffer is put in SQL interactive mode, giving commands for sending input. See sql-interactive-mode.

To set the buffer name directly, use C-u (universal-argument) before M-x sql-informix (sql-informix). Once session has started, M-x sql-rename-buffer (sql-rename-buffer) can be called separately to rename the buffer.

To specify a coding system for converting non-ASCII characters in the input and output to the process, use C-x RET c (universal-coding-system-argument) before M-x sql-informix (sql-informix). You can also specify this with C-x RET p (set-buffer-process-coding-system) in the SQL buffer, after you start the process. The default comes from process-coding-system-alist and default-process-coding-system.

(Type C-h m (describe-mode) in the SQL buffer for a list of commands.)
