Fixed Bugs in Magic Informix Gateway 8.2-8.5 (Top)

  • To maintain compatibility between the C-ISAM gateway and the Informix DBMS, the string time attribute in Magic that has a CHAR (6) attribute in its SQL Type field will no longer maintain an extra character.

    For previous versions, the string time attribute is automatically mapped to CHAR (7) unless otherwise specified in the SQL Type field.
  • Bug 766705 – Performing a Direct SQL statement caused a memory leak.

 

Fixed Bugs in Magic Informix Gateway 8.2-8.4 (Top)

  • Bug 764123 – The Direct SQL with Informix as the input and result database, created a temporary table with the NCHARACTER datatype and not the NCHAR datatype. This resulted in the following error message:

    NCHARACTER datatype does not exist.
