Editorial Back to top

The summer is coming to its end. In Israel it is hot and dry. Hurricanes and tornados are not part of our life. Unfortunately we have enough problems of our own.

My best wishes to all Informix users in the US and to those who are not YET Informix users as well. Informix is beta testing 11.7 xc4 – one more step towards the next major release.

Activity round Informix is growing. Not as much as we would like it too though. The next IBM Data Management Event is the Information On Demand conference. This year it will take place in Las Vegas, as it did last year, and the year before that, and before that. The IIUG board will have its next meeting at the IOD conference. If you are there, look us up. We are always happy to meet our Informix friends.

IBM Informix is a premier database for high volume online transaction processing (OLTP) as well as integrated applications. Informix has built an incredible reputation over time as the database server that “just works!” Informix has kept pace with its customers as they’ve grown and expanded without costing them a fortune for ongoing maintenance and administration. In most cases, these companies have grown without requiring significant infrastructure upgrades because Informix is so efficient. In turn, customers have responded by rating Informix as #1 in customer satisfaction for several years.

Customers choose Informix because of its reliability, flexibility, ease-of-use, and total cost of ownership. In simple terms, this means Informix works without a problem or major administrative issues regardless of the operating system Informix is running on, so you can manage your application needs as your business dictates. Informix is available across a broad range platforms and operating systems including AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, Macintosh OS X, Linux, System i, System p, System x, System z, and Windows.

Not all customers need the same database features and functionality though. In some cases, this is a technological decision; for example, a customer may not be using Enterprise Replication or some of the advanced backup and recovery features. In other cases, licensing requirements and the expenses involved drive these decisions. From a product licensing perspective, Informix is well attuned to both cases.

Informix has recently made some dramatic and significant changes to the licensing model including “for-purchase” and “free” editions that can be downloaded and used in production. These editions are tailored from a price and functionality perspective to a specific market segment. The Informix purchased editions offer some sub-capacity pricing models, giving you the flexibility to buy just what you need to support your data services requirements without having to worry about the total processing power of the hardware on which Informix is installed. All editions may be deployed in “virtual” environments, giving you additional deployment flexibility. Finally, for the ultimate in flexibility and pricing convenience, you can take advantage of new “pay-as-you-go”, ready-to-use cloud computing technologies featuring Informix through vendors such as Amazon Cloud Computing and other providers.

In March 2011, Informix introduced significant new function that dramatically enhanced its ability to serve as a data warehouse or data analysis server. The new Informix Warehouse Accelerator (IWA) technology uses compression and a columnar approach to storing and accessing data in-memory as opposed to the row-based approach used in most database engines. This new in-memory approach enables Informix to provide virtually unlimited data warehouse growth while providing data response times that are hundreds of times faster than conventional systems. Informix Ultimate Warehouse Edition can be used in combination with other advanced Informix technologies, including high-availability clustering, Informix Flexible Grid, spatial analysis, and advanced access control, to build a robust, scalable data store that can resolve the most demanding and difficult business issues.

The best database for every purpose!

As a consultant I often am asked “What is the best database for everything we do?” Unfortunately, there is no easy answer for that, and I know this is not the response you all expect from me. Bear with me on this and I will explain.

The best database, and to be clear by ‘database’ I mean Database Management System, is not MySQL, PostGreSQL, Ingres, Oracle, Sybase, IBM DB2 branded products, IBM’s Informix branded products, Voltdb, OpenSQL, Berkeley DB, Progress, Unify, or any of the literally hundreds of other RDBMS products on the market whether they are free or for-cost. No single database product can serve all of the needs of any large organization nor for most smaller organizations. That’s a fact! While I think that IBM Informix Dynamic Server Ultimate Edition is the cats meow of RDBMS products – the performance, feature, and innovation leader in my book – it is not best for every purpose in every organization.

So, the question remains out there: “What is the best database for …”, what do I recommend? Because if my clients have to use a different database server product for each group of applications that fit best, or even groupings that are sometimes second best, they are still going to have to maintain and be able to manage and tune several products from several companies won’t they? The list of skill sets that their DBAs will need will be very broad and I will have to hire more DBAs than I might need if I could just use one product.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I keep coming back to the marketing presentation I made to IBM two years ago and to how appropriate that was to this question even more so than to the question of how IBM should market its database products. If my clients could get the “right” database, or close enough, for every situation from a single vendor, and if that vendor could make the skills needed to manage all of those database products they market sufficiently portable, that would reduce my clients’ costs of ownership substantially making this single vendor solution even more attractive.

OK, so what product lines are out there? Oracle effectively has MySQL for very small projects and their Enterprise Class Oracle server in its various “editions”. Sybase has an Enterprise class server and a mobile server. Ingres has only an Enterprise class server but not much third party software support left. Progress is a good SMB server only. Same with Unify. PostGreSQL has many nice enterprise class features but not all and many organizations won’t bet the ranch on an open source product that doesn’t have corporate support behind it. That brings us to IBM which, as I pointed out two years ago, has a plethora of database management systems appropriate for any size organization and any task:

  • C-ISAM and IMS for application level databases.
  • IBM Informix Standard Edition for small business. Clean simple OLTP performance for simple schema databases serving up to several hundred users with zero maintenance.
  • IBM Informix OnLine for small to medium business. Clean simple OLTP performance for simple schema databases up to several TB in size serving up to several thousand users with extremely low maintenance and outstanding reliability and uptime.
  • IBM Informix Dynamic Server (Innovator, Growth/Choice, and Ultimate Editions) for:
    • Medium to large business
    • OLTP performance and reliability
    • Medium to large Data Warehouse
    • Large Data Mart and DSS applications
    • Object Relational features
    • Industry leading expandability and extendability
    • Industry leading uptime and reliability with near zero unplanned outage and very low planned outage requirements
    • Industry leading TCO requiring 1/2 to 1/4 the DBA support of other RDBMS products
    • Databases up to 128PB serving many thousands of concurrent users
    • Industry leading replication and clustering technology that scales better than the competition
    • Unmatched embeddability with configurable footprint
  • IBM DB2 Mainframe for mainframe based applications
  • IBM DB2 LUW which fills most of the same niches as Informix Dynamic Server. Additionally, DB2 offers
    • Strength in 3rd party application support
    • Very large data warehouses
    • Distributed server
    • DB2 Pure Scale highly scalable clustering
  • IBM Informix Ultimate Warehouse Edition with the Informix Warehouse Accelerator for accelerating complex data warehouse style queries by up to 300X without losing Informix’s OLTP performance and features and without requiring expensive special purpose hardware.
  • Netizza provides performance even beyond Informix Ultimate Warehouse for dedicated DW applications that need ultimate speed.

So is IBM missing anything? Yes! It is missing a unified structure of management and maintenance tools that can cross and span the entire range of database products so that an organization’s DBA skills can also span the product line. Put that in place and two things happen:

I have the answer to my clients’ questions and
IBM can approach the market with this now unified product line that no one can touch.

Instead of producing a white paper entitled “Six reasons to move from Oracle to IBM” which should really have been entitled “Six reasons to move from Oracle to IBM DB2” they can produce a white paper entitled “Sixty reasons to move from Oracle to IBM” that can highlight all of the benefits of using a unified database product line within your organization. This makes IBM a one-stop-shop and makes my life as a consultant a whole lot easier.

Perform case-insensitive queries in Informix
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-1108caseinsensitive/index.html
When you query your data, you may wish your query to be case-sensitive, or you may wish to ignore upper- and lower-case differences in data. In the past, IBM Informix databases were case-sentitive, and it required some effort to perform a case-insensitive search. Now with the latest release, Informix supports case-insensitive databases. In this article, learn how to create a case-insensitive database and explore considerations for implementing check constraints, using distinct searches, using group-by aggregate queries, implementing distributed queries, and more, in a case-insensitive database environment.

What UPDATE STATISTICS command should you run?

We all know how critical it is to keep accurate and up-to-date database server statistics. Update statistics are key part of getting consistent performance. It is a very common question to ask: What UPDATE STATISTICS command one should run?

The following SQL script offers a way to generate list all necessary UPDATE STATISTICS commands for a database. You just need to replace the “<Database Name>” string with an appropriate database name. It will create an output file call ‘update_stat_cmd.sql’ in the current directory.

BEGIN WORK;

SELECT name, value
FROM sysadmin:ph_threshold
WHERE name IN ("AUS_AGE","AUS_AUTO_RULES")
INTO TEMP temp_threshold;

UPDATE sysadmin:ph_threshold
SET value = -1
WHERE name = "AUS_AGE";

UPDATE sysadmin:ph_threshold
SET value = 1
WHERE name = "AUS_AUTO_RULES";

SELECT tk_next_execution FROM sysadmin:ph_task
WHERE tk_name = "Auto Update Statistics Evaluation"
INTO TEMP temp_ph_task;

EXECUTE FUNCTION sysadmin:exectask ("Auto Update Statistics Evaluation");

UNLOAD TO 'update_stat_cmd.sql' DELIMITER ';'
SELECT aus_cmd_exe
FROM sysadmin:aus_command
WHERE aus_cmd_dbs_partnum = (
      SELECT partnum
      FROM sysmaster:sysdbspartn
      WHERE name =
      AND bitand(flags, 3 ) > 0); ""

UPDATE sysadmin:ph_threshold
SET value =
    ( SELECT value FROM temp_threshold
      WHERE name = "AUS_AGE" )
WHERE name = "AUS_AGE";

UPDATE sysadmin:ph_threshold
SET value =
    ( SELECT value FROM temp_threshold
      WHERE name = "AUS_AUTO_RULES" )
WHERE name = "AUS_AUTO_RULES";

UPDATE sysadmin:ph_task
SET tk_next_execution =
    ( SELECT tk_next_execution from temp_ph_task
      WHERE tk_name = "Auto Update Statistics Evaluation" )
WHERE tk_name = "Auto Update Statistics Evaluation";

COMMIT WORK;

You can run the above SQL script against sysadmin database to generate UPDATE STATISTICS commands according to Informix guideline. It goes by the following guidelines.

  • All tables are updated in LOW mode
  • All the leading index keys are updated in HIGH mode
  • All non-leading index keys are updated in MEDIUM mode
  • The minimum resolution for MEDIUM mode is 2.0
  • The minimum confidence for MEDIUM mode is 0.95
  • The minimum resolution for HIGH mode is 0.5

The above SQL script has dependencies on syadmin database and database scheduler. SQL script will fail if the database scheduler turned off.

Informix Dynamic Server 11.50 Full High-Availability Clustering

An IBM Proof of Technology

Date: September 14, 2011
Time: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Location: IBM 4th Floor Room 429B, 650 3rd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55402

Introduction

In mid-2007, IBM unleashed the fastest cat in the data server world with Informix Dynamic Server 11. The release strengthened and enhanced Informix Dynamic Server’s legendary ease of use with a wide range of additions to its autonomic system-management capabilities; a new, flexible, and extensible system-monitoring and administration tool; a new command-line administrative API to further increase system security; bundled DataBlades for increased application capability with reduced complexity; and much, much more.

The crown jewel of this release was the increased capability added to Informix Dynamic Server’s High-Availability Data Replication (HDR) technology. With this new functionality, now called Informix Dynamic Server High Availability clustering (Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering), you can use additional secondary instance types to create an “availability fabric” to safeguard your Informix Dynamic Server data and provide uninterrupted data services through any type of manmade or natural outage. The simplicity of operations and ease of setup for this clustering technology is outstanding and completely unheard of in the data server market today. As those who use IBM Informix like to say about it, “It just works!” Customers around the world are using the technology and are benefiting from the flexibility and enterprise-quality stability that Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering provides.

IBM Informix Dynamic Server development has continued to enhance and bring new functionality to the Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering suite of technologies. In this Proof of Technology, you will create and use the latest version of the Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering technologies to create a cluster of instances that can provide virtually uninterrupted data services to your environment.

Objective

In this Proof of Technology, you will create and use the full spectrum of Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering technologies including updatable secondary instances, the Online Connection Manager and Server Monitor agent, Service Level Agreements, delayed application of transactions for protection against SQL errors, and the Failover Arbitrator to create a cluster of instances that can provide virtually uninterrupted data services within a business environment.

Audience

This Proof of Technology is specifically targeted for Application and Data Architects, Database and Informix Dynamic Server Administrators as well as Line-of Business owners who are evaluating architectural and data server solutions for their environments. It is also of great value to ISV’s, IBM Business Partners and others who are looking for the best data server to integrate into their solution for resale to others. Some prerequisite knowledge of IBM Informix Dynamic Server is very helpful but not required. It is recommended that participants have an understanding of data server technology, data server administration as well as general data programming. The labs will be executed in a Linux environment so a basic fluency in Linux/Unix commands, including the vi editor is helpful.

Agenda

The class includes an educational presentation explaining the Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering technology in detail. Business and technical use cases are included to provide a real-world reference point on how the technology can be applied in a customer environment. This is followed by an indepth, hands-on experience where the student will apply and use all the concepts taught during the educational portion of the class. By the end of the day, the student will have created and used the full spectrum of Informix Dynamic Server H/A clustering technology to create a cluster of instances that can provide virtually uninterrupted data services within a business environment.

Cost

This session is offered free of charge. Complimentary refreshments including continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. However, participants are responsible for their own business travel expenses.

Schedule

For your convenience, registration and continental breakfast will begin at 8:00 AM. The session will start at 8:30 AM and end at approximately 4:00 PM.
