Answer 1

I found myself facing the same issue after upgrading to SB 2.3.0. Mark's excellent answer (which btw has found itself to Spring Data migration docs), helped me solve it, but I found that adding the extra configuration to META-INF less than ideal.

My solution, extending from the original answer:

1. Implement the Dialect
2. Provide a custom JDBC Configuration and override jdbcDialect():

@Configuration
public class SpringDataJdbcConfiguration extends AbstractJdbcConfiguration {

    @Override
    public Dialect jdbcDialect(NamedParameterJdbcOperations operations) {
        return operations.getJdbcOperations().execute((ConnectionCallback)
                connection -> isInformix(connection) ? InformixDialect.INSTANCE : super.jdbcDialect(operations));
    }

    private boolean isInformix(Connection connection) throws SQLException {
        return connection.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductName().toUpperCase().contains("INFORMIX");
    }
}
