Connecting to Sybase and Informix

[Russ Wulfson <rwulfson@BOST.COM>]

I have, what is to me, a rather complex question.  I recently posted a note
about trying to connect to multiple databases (Sybase and Informix).  The
answer that seemed correct was that I had a licensing issue.  We have sqr
4.3 bundled with PeopleSoft and this version seems tied directly to
Informix (our PeopleSoft database).  We're interested in getting a free
standing version of Brio Report, but I'm concerned that this will not
resolve my current problem.  I need to be able to run an sqr that will
function primarily in Informix and allow me to use the -DB flag in my
select and connect to Sybase.  We have Brio Enterprise and have not been
able to find or make any drivers work on the UNIX side. So here's my
questions:

1) Does any one have any direct experience getting Sybase and Informix to
work at the same time? or know anything specific about this issue?

2)Do the newer versions of Brio Report use ODBC connections or some other
type of connections?(I don't think I fully grasp the connectivity issues)

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
