Hi,
I work for a company this is in the process of migrating existing
ESQL code to CLI and I ran across problems with one of the
applications that I'm in the process of converting since certain
library calls within the APP still refer to ESQL code while most of
the application database code has been converted to CLI. Is there any
way to have this CLI co-exist with ESQL code so that we will be able
to do a phased migration to CLI instead of having to rewrite all ESQL
APIs in CLI upfront. Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

So, are you using IBM DB2 or Informix? I saw the question in
comp.databases.ibm-db2, so I'm puzzled. Not cross-posted, either.

With respect to Informix, in the early days (circa 1995), it was not
possible to use ESQL/C and ODBC in the same application. I believe it
has since been fixed so that you can use both, but I've not personally
verified that.
