Informix Visionary LIVE DEMONSTRATION, DELIVERED
RIGHT TO YOUR OWN OFFICE!
Introducing
the industry's first business visualizer that enables corporate users to
gain INSIGHT to their enterprise versus just being able to ACCESS their
data. All of this, in a completely code-less, graphical environment. Not
only can users graphically explore the business enterprise and obtain immediate
analysis of trends, but they can also zoom in, on demand, for extensive
detail. Visionary is not about tables of data- it's about pictures. Visionary
is an eye into your business. The point-and-click visual analysis empowers
an expanded population of non-technical users enabling fast and easy insight
for decision making. INSIGHT versus ACCESS.
Using the latest WebCasting
technology, Informix will bring you a highly interactive, live presentation
and demonstration of Visionary, in the privacy of your own office. All
you need is a Web browser, a phone, and about an hour. YouÆll not
only get an informative demonstration of the power of this revolutionary
tool, but access to a panel of experts, including Dr. Michael Stonebraker,
the creator of Visionary.
And, existing customers will talk to you about their experiences with Visionary and how it has changed the way they are doing business today. 2/18/99 12:15 (EST) Confirmation # 598089 2/19/99 11:15 (EST) Confirmation # 615078 SIMPLY CALL 800 289 0579 TO REGISTER TODAY!

Cool and Helpful New Web Sites for Informix Users
by Lester Knutsen
(Editors
Note: The following are two web sites that I have found very helpful)
1.
The Informix byExample site has become part of the Informix Developer's
Network (IDN):
http://www.informix.com/idn/examples/index.htm
byExample provides dynamic,
runnable examples and HTML-based How Tos designed to help customers, sales
teams and field engineers use Informix technology with industry-standard
applications and middleware.
The initial focus of the
site includes JDBC and CGI scripting, including Perl CGI (Apache) and details
on retrieving Informix data with the Tengah and Gemstone/J application
servers. We're also providing a new finderror (finderr) Java-based utility
that allows you to retrieve Informix error message information instantly,
anywhere you have access to the internet. Please check out <http://examples/finderrorand
let us know what you think.
Topics are being added frequently.
Next week, for example, a set of Informix/3rd party integration notes written
by the Application Engineering team will be showcased. If you'd like to
be informed when new material is added to our site, please drop us a note
at ibyx@informix.com
2. The following website contains some very useful onbar tuning information. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/4927/onbar.html
