Native ESQL/C is 1.6x faster than JDBC for pure selects. However, JDBC offers better portability and tooling.

The introduction of the Informix ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) driver marked a significant turning point. ODBC provided a standardized API that allowed applications to access data in the Informix engine regardless of the underlying operating system or programming language. This abstraction layer was crucial for the proliferation of Informix in heterogeneous environments, enabling tools like Crystal Reports, Excel, and Java applications to communicate with the database seamlessly. The Informix ODBC driver remains a staple in many legacy Windows environments, acting as the silent bridge between user interfaces and backend data stores. Native ESQL/C is 1
