    Are you using the v15.0.1 CSDK drivers?

    Hi, 
    Pls state what version of JDBC driver you are using, and if the type of table is a "small" (compatible with older clients)
    or "large" (need 15.0+ drivers) one.
    If possible, write a small java program and get the full error (-242 does not mean anything useful
    without the ISAM error code).

    Hi Marcus,

    For DBeaver, it's "Informix JDBC Driver for Informix Dynamic Server 4.50.JC10W1"

    Where do I possibly download the 15.0+ drivers?

    Thank you

    Baharuddin:

    Go to www.informix.com, click on the <Try Developer Edition> button, log in with your IBM ID, possibly answer a question of two about why you are going there, then you can download the v15 CSDK from that site. It is the trial site, but since the CSDK is free anyway the CSDK packages there are production releases.

    If you are into java development and use maven as build tool, you can use this dependency:

    <!-- Source: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.informix/jdbc -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.ibm.informix</groupId>
        <artifactId>jdbc</artifactId>
        <version>15.0.1.0</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

    It will then be downloaded to your local maven repository.

    This also means that the jar file actually is available in your typical maven repository, for instance here:
    https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/ibm/informix/jdbc/15.0.1.0/jdbc-15.0.1.0.jar

    Hi Øyvind Gjerstad,

    Thank you. The maven jdbc-15.0.1.0.jar works perfect. 

    Sorry for late reply, since I was on another project and need to find time to re-test this.

    best regards,
