I don't have a specific date here. There was a user that wanted to
contribute an Informix driver, but that was long ago and I never
received anything.
I personally don't have an Informix database available nor do I have the
time or interest to code this driver.
I have noticed that the current size of the drivers seems to be scaring
developers of. The new structure in MDB 2.0 will break the drivers up in
smaller parts and I hope that also has the positive side effect that
people will feel more comfortable with writing drivers which can be then
completed in smaller chunks.
Regards,
Lukas
