Overview Of IBM Informix

IBM Informix is a family of relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by IBM. It is stated as IBM's flagship data server for online transaction processing (OLTP) as well as integrated solutions. IBM INFORMIX is an elaborated and object-relational database server which can run on Windows and UNIX, LINUX, operating systems. Information Management applications are developed by using Informix with industry-leading application development languages and based on environments. Language support not only includes but it has limited to some languages.
IBM Informix Dynamic Server is developed to help clients cut costs and respond quickly to market strategy. IBM Informix 11.7 helps clients and partners speed the installed of critical business solutions at cheaper cost while doing performance. It's an exceptional relational database which offers outstanding improvement, reliability, scalability and manageability.

Informix product packages access the following elements:

• IBM Informix 11.70: It manages one or more databases for one or more client applications. Informix             manages traditional database, relational database, object-relational database, and web-based                       databases.

• Client Software Kit 3.70:  develop and run client applications with Client SDK.

• Connect 3.70: It Allows applications which run on client computers to access the database server.

     
 Informix package includes some or all of the following associated products, depends on which                       programs are  applicable to your operating system:

• JDBC Driver 3.70: Allows you to connect to an Informix database from within a Java application or    applet. 

• Data Blade Developers Kit (DBDK) 4.20: Contains tools for developing and packaging Data Blade modules.

• Blade Manager 4.20: Registers and unregisters Data Blade modules.

• Web Data Blade Module 4.13: Enables you to create web applications that incorporate data retrieved           dynamically from an Informix database.

• International Language Supplement 3.50: It having core Global Language Support (GLS) locale files.

• IBM Data Studio 3.1: Allows you to develop and test SQL and queries, stored procedures, internet services and data access layers which is based on java.

INFORMIX Dynamic Server:
IDS 9.4 is a best-of-breed online transaction processing (OLTP) database for enterprise and for all computing. It prevents data assets in a highly-dependable database management system. High Availability Data Replication (HDR) provides complete turn-key disaster recovery. Enterprise Replication (ER) provides selective replication of data across multiple world locations. It runs on more number of systems that run a UNIX operating system.

Informix Developer Edition:
It contains nearly all Informix features for each individual to developing an application, and prototypes and to test the entire software at free of cost. You get a free risk surrounded to produce and test the all Languages and 4th-generation programming language applications. This software is having only 1 CPU, 1 Giga Bytes of memory and 8 Giga Bytes of storage,for development use only.

Informix Developer Edition provides:

• contains powerful feature set of Informix Enterprise Edition on a variety of platforms.

• Its simple to update from the Developer Edition to any other Informix edition just by installing new                 database binaries.

• Community support is available.

IBM InforMix Training Course Deatails

Chapter 1: "Informix databases" covers the fundamental concepts of databases and define some terms that are used throughout the subject
Chapter 2:“Composing Simple SELECT Statements,” shows how you can use the SELECT statement to query and retrieve data. This chapter discusses how to tailor your statements to select columns or rows of data from one or more tables, how to include expressions and functions in SELECT statements, and how to create various join conditions between relational database tables.
Chapter 3: “Composing Advanced SELECT Statements,” increases the scope of what you can do with the SELECT statement and enables you to perform more complex database queries and data
manipulation.
Chapter 4:“Modifying Data,” discusses solutions to problems such as the security of user access to the database and its tables. It also explains how to minimize the risk of system failure caused by
external events.
Chapter 5:“Programming with SQL,” is an introduction to the concepts that are common to SQL programming.
Chapter 6:“Modifying Data Through SQL Programs,” covers the issues that arise when a program needs to modify the database by deleting, inserting, or updating rows.
Chapter 7:“Programming for a Multiuser Environment,” addresses concurrency, locking, and isolation level issues as they pertain to a database that is accessed simultaneously by multiple users.
Chapter 8:“Building Your Data Model,” contains a cursory overview the first step towards constructing a data model—a precise, complete definition of the data to be stored.
Chapter 9:“Implementing Your Data Model,” covers the decisions that you must make to implement the data model.
Chapter 10:“Understanding Complex Data Types,” describes row types and collection types and shows the different ways you can use these types. The chapter also explains inheritance and shows how to
create an inheritance hierarchy for row types and tables.
Chapter 11:“Granting and Limiting Access to Your Database,” discusses how you can restrict access to your database. By using statements such as GRANT, REVOKE, and CREATE VIEW, you can
deny access to some or all of the data to specified users.
Chapter 12:“Accessing Complex Data Types,” shows how to query and modify complex data types. The chapter provides examples of SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE operations on row types and
collection types.
Chapter 13:“Casting Data Types,” introduces user-defined routines. This chapter explains the concepts of routine overloading and routine resolution and includes two examples that show how to
create and register casts to convert between data types. The chapter also describes how to use SQL to register and use external routines.
Chapter 14:“Creating and Using SPL Routines,” discusses how you can write procedures usingSQL and additional statements belonging to the Stored Procedure Language (SPL), and store the procedures in
the database. These stored procedures are effective tools for controlling SQL activity.
Chapter 15:“Creating and Using Triggers,” describes the purpose of each component of the CREATE TRIGGER statement, illustrates some uses for triggers, and describes the advantages of using a stored procedure as a triggered action.
