title: Is there a such thing as Informix SQL query analyzer like SQL Server Management Studio?
body: <p>I just started a contract position with a company stuck in 1985. They're running SQL on an Informix server and access the data through a text interface that only shows one record at a time and only 14 columns for that record. In order to get anything done, you have to export the data to a text file, retrieve it from the server, and view it somehow with the text file. Then changing data consists of writing a SQL file, uploading it to the server, and running it while hoping that there are no errors. If there is an error that stops the transaction, there is nothing to indicate what or where the error is and you have to disconnect and reconnect in order to start the process over again. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried Postgres and SqlDbx, but neither seem to work for the server. The server appears to be running Informix 7.30.FC6, if that means anything. I've checked IBM's website, but the descriptions of their applications are vague at best, so I can't figure which, if any of them, would work.</p>
