Informix Basics
In this book, a world-class Informix expert guides both novices and power users through the complex suite of Informix products, helping them master the development and administration skills they need most. Informix Basics is chock-full of exercises, practical examples and real-world tips - all honed through Glenn Miller's 14 years "in the trenches" teaching, building, and administering Informix databases. It shows not just what to do, but how and why to do it, and which tools to use. It covers virtually every key issue Informix developers and DBAs are likely to face, including: designing databases for maximum efficiency and power; working with SQL; using advanced SQL techniques such as stored procedures and triggers; 4GL programming and user interface development, and more. Coverage also includes data migration, interfacing with 3GLs, and the basics of Informix database administration. Informix Basics is ideal for new Informix users; power users seeking to learn application development; and database professionals migrating from other environments.
IBM Informix Developer's Handbook
IBM® Informix® is a low-administration, easy-to-use, and embeddable database that is ideal for application development. It supports a wide range of development platforms, such as JavaTM, .NET, PHP, and web services, enabling developers to build database applications in the language of their choice. Informix is designed to handle RDBMS data and XML without modification and can be extended easily to handle new data sets. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides fundamentals of Informix application development. It covers the Informix Client installation and configuration for application development environments. It discusses the skills and techniques for building Informix applications with Java, ESQL/C, OLE DB, .NET, PHP, Ruby on Rails, DataBlade®, and Hibernate. The book uses code examples to demonstrate how to develop an Informix application with various drivers, APIs, and interfaces. It also provides application development troubleshooting and considerations for performance. This book is intended for developers who use IBM Informix for application development. Although some of the topics that we discuss are highly technical, the information in the book might also be helpful for managers or database administrators who are looking to better understand their Informix development environment.
Embedding IBM Informix
In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we discuss and describe the capabilities for embedding Informix® into applications and software. We introduce the technological architecture and describe several of the functions and features that support Informix as a robust and powerful embeddable DBMS. Many of these features are unique in the industry today, enabling clients to create a business advantage. The Informix database server can support the requirements of an embeddable DBMS, and is doing so for many companies today. The low administration requirements of the Informix database server enable clients to deploy thousands of Informix instances, embedded in applications in locations where there are no technical resources to support the database. The real requirement is for applications with embedded databases that require little or no administration, take minimum storage resources, have excellent performance, and are highly reliable. As a mature and reliable DBMS, the Informix database server works well with small, growing, and large databases, and meets the key requirements for embedded databases, which include the ability to execute without needing any configuration or other DBA administrative activities, and the flexibility to work on all of the platforms commonly used in the marketplace today.
