     PDO_INFORMIX supports scrollable cursors; however, they are not enabled
     by default. To enable scrollable cursor support, you must either set
     <userinput>ENABLESCROLLABLECURSORS=1</userinput> in the corresponding ODBC
     connection settings in <filename>odbc.ini</filename> or pass
     the <userinput>EnableScrollableCursors=1</userinput> clause in the DSN
     connection string.

     The PDO_INFORMIX Data Source Name (DSN) is based on the Informix ODBC DSN
     string. Details on configuring an Informix ODBC DSN are available from
     the <link xlink:href="&url.informix.dsn;">Informix Dynamic Server Information
      Center</link>. The major components of the PDO_INFORMIX DSN are:
