The connector possesses system tables that are used to discover the tables and views available in the data model. Of these system tables, "sys_tables" and "sys_views" are used to fetch information about the available tables and views respectively:

Tables

import cdata.informix as mod
conn = mod.connect("Server=10.0.1.2;Port=50000;User=admin;Password=admin;Database=test")
cur = conn.cursor()
cmd = "SELECT * FROM sys_tables"
cur.execute(cmd)
rs = cur.fetchall()
for row in rs:
	print(row)

Views

import cdata.informix as mod
conn = mod.connect("Server=10.0.1.2;Port=50000;User=admin;Password=admin;Database=test")
cur = conn.cursor()
cmd = "SELECT * FROM sys_views"
cur.execute(cmd, params)
rs = cur.fetchall()
for row in rs:
	print(row)
