I was able to solve this issue by updating Infromix JDBC driver, previous version which I installed was not supported by Splunk. We can find out if it's supported or not supported by navigating to the following path

Splunk DB Connect --> Settings --> Drivers

here we can check to see if it's supported

please check the driver version , this error happens when the version is not right and in the driver it tells if it is unsupported or not
