Happy new year to all IIUG members!
2009 was a great year. Informix IDS is getting better with every fix pack. We are now at IDS xC5 and IDS xC6 is just about to be GA. Actually the term fix pack is misleading. On every release there are major enhancements and improvements.
2010 is going to be the year of the Panther. We are all hyped for this next major step for IDS. I have been participating in the IDS beta program since IDS10 (when it was still called 9.5). It is a great experience and an opportunity to combine helping Informix with getting to know the product. In production we are on IDS 11.5 xC5, so we are not far behind.
In 2009 we had our second IIUG Informix International conference. Despite the economy it was a great success. I cannot wrap up the year without thanking the group of volunteers who served on the Conference Planning Committee and the IIUG Board of Directors for keeping up this great event. In 2010 we are having our conference once again in Kansas. The proximity to the Lenexa labs and the attractive hotel pricing are hard to beat.
At work, I had a wonderful year as well. We migrated most our 4GL code to Java EE. The project is going smoothly as planned. Java and Informix is a perfect match and we are able to get the same performance we had in our 4GL programs.
I wish 2010 will be better than ever for IBM and Informix. More Informix users, more IIUG members, more local user groups, a bigger and better conference, more content for the IIUG Insider, an interesting and profitable year to you all at work and a happy and peaceful year all together.

Bonne et heureuse année à chaque membre d’IIUG !
[NDT : Comme chaque année je traduis l’éditorial de Gary Ben-Israel et ce sont donc ses pensées qui sont ici reflétées].
2009 a été une superbe année [NDT : là, ça n’engage que lui].
Informix IDS devient meilleur après chaque fix pack. Nous sommes actuellement à IDS [NDT : 11.5] xC5 et IDS xC6 est sur le point d’être livré.
Le terme de fix pack peut être un peu trompeur. Sur chaque livraison, il y a des améliorations.
2010 va être l’année de la panthère. Nous sommes tous très excités par cette étape majeure pour IDS. Je participe au programme Beta d’IDS depuis la version 10 (alors qu’elle ne s’appelait encore que 9.5). C’est une expérience formidable et une opportunité de combiner à la fois de l’aide sur Informix et d’améliorer sa connaissance du produit. En production, nous sommes sur IDS 11.5 xC5, nous ne sommes pas très loin derrière.
En 2009, nous avons organisé notre deuxième conférence IIUG Informix Conference. Malgré une économie en berne, elle a été un réel succès. Je ne peux terminer cette année sans remercier ce merveilleux groupe de volontaire que sont le Conference Planning Committee et le directoire d’IIUG (Board of Directors) qui ont permis la réalisation de cet événement exceptionnel. En 2010, nous aurons de nouveau notre conférence au Kansas. La proximité des labs de Lenexa et le tarif des hôtels sont des arguments convaincants.
Du côté de mon job, j’ai eu une année formidable. Nous avons migré la plupart de nos applications 4GL vers Java EE. Le projet se déroule sans accroc, comme prévu. Java et Informix sont vraiment faits l’un pour l’autre : d’ailleurs, nous obtenons les mêmes performances que nous avions avec 4GL.
J’espère que 2010 sera la meilleure de toutes les années pour Informix et IBM. Je souhaite plus d’utilisateurs Informix, plus de membres d’IIUG, plus de groupes locaux, une meilleure et plus grande conférence, plus de contenu pour l’IIUG Insider, une année intéressante et profitable pour vous et une année de paix pour vous tous.

¡Feliz Año Nuevo a todos los miembros de IIUG!
2009 fue un gran año. Informix IDS se supera cada lanzamiento (fix pack). En este momento es IDS xC5 y IDS xC6 esta a punto de ser GA. En realidad el termino “fix pack” no es del todo exacto, ya que cada lanzamiento incluye mejoras importantes.
2010 va ha ser el año de la Pantera. Estamos todos muy entusiasmados con este gran paso para IDS. Yo personalmente participo en el programa IDS beta desde IDS10. (Cuando aun se llamaba 9.5). Es una gran experiencia y una oportunidad para combinar el ayudar a Informix y conocer al producto.
En produccion estamos en IDS 11.5 xC5, asi que no estamos para nada atrasados.
Durante 2009 tuvimos nuestra segunda Conferencia Internacional IIUG Informix. Apesar de la crisis economica fue un gran exito. No podria finalizar el año sin antes agradecer enormemente al grupo de voluntarios del Comite de Planeamiento de la Conferencia y a la Junta Directiva del IIUG por hacer posible que este gran evento sea realidad.
En 2010 volveremos a tener la conferencia en Kansas. La proximidad a los laboratorios Lenexa y los atractivos precios de los hoteles son ventajas imbatibles.
En el trabajo, tuve también un año maravilloso. Convertimos nuestro codigo 4GL a Java EE. El proyecto avanza sobre ruedas. Java e Informix son una combinacion perfecta y podemos lograr el mismo desempe ño que en nuestros programas 4GL.
Deseo que el 2010 sea aun mejor para IBM e Informix, con mas usuarios de Informix, mas miembros de IIUG, mas grupos locales de usuarios, una mejor y mayor conferencia, mas contenido para IIUG Insider. Mis mejores augurios de un año prospero e interesante en el trabajo, y un 2010 lleno de paz y felicidad para todos ustedes.

Ein frohes neues Jahr wünsche ich allen IIUG Mitgliedern!
2009 war ein grossartiges Jahr.
Informix IDS wird mit jedem Fixpack noch besser. Wir sind nun bei IDS xC5 angelangt und xC6 steht kurz vor der Freigabe.
Eigentlich ist der Begriff Fixpack irreführend. In jeder Version (Fixpack) sind größere Erweiterungen und Verbesserungen enthalten.
2010 wird das Jahr des Panthers sein. Wir sind alle sehr gespannt auf den nächsten großen Wurf hinsichtlich IDS.
Ich nehme an den IDS Beta-Programmen seit IDS10 teil (als es zunächst noch 9.5 genannt wurde). Es ist eine großartige Erfahrung und bietet die Möglichkeit sowohl Informix zu helfen als auch das Produkt noch tiefer kennenzulernen.
In Produktion sind wir bereits auf IDS 11.5 xC5. Wir hängen also kaum hinterher.
In 2009 fand unsere zweite internationale IIUG Informix Konferenz statt. Trotz der Wirtschaftslage war die Konferenz ein großer Erfolg. Ich kann das Jahr nicht abschließen, ohne den freiwilligen Helfern, die im Konferenz-Planungs-Komitee und im Vorstand der IIUG tätig sind, für die Fortführung dieser einzigartigen Veranstaltung zu danken.
In 2010 wir unsere Konferenz wieder in Kansas stattfinden. Sowohl die Nähe zu den Labors in Lenexa als auch die attraktiven Hotelpreise sind kaum zu schlagen.
Im Job hatte ich ebenfalls ein wundervolles Jahr. Wir haben den Großteil unserer 4GL-Programme auf Java EE migriert. Das Projekt schreitet reibungslos wie geplant voran. Java und Informix ergänzen sich perfekt und wir konnten die gleichen Performance wie mit unseren 4GL-Programmen erzielen.
Ich wünsche mir, dass 2010 so gut wie nie zuvor für IBM und Informix wird. Mehr Informix Benutzer, mehr IIUG Mitglieder, mehr lokale Usergroups, eine größere und noch bessere Konferenz, mehr Inhalte für den IIUG Insider, ein interessantes und erfolgreiches Jahr für Euch alle in Eurem Job und ein frohes und friedvolles Jahr für die ganze Welt.
Thanks to Eric Herber for the German translation.

Feliz ano novo a todos os membros do IIUG!
2009 foi um grande ano.
Informix IDS está cada vez melhor, em cada novo pacote (“fix pack”) ele melhora, estamos agora em IDS xC5 e IDS xC6 est á a ponto de tornar-se GA.
No fundo, o termo “fix pack” não faz jus ao pacote. Pois cada lançamento agrega avanços e melhoras significantes.
2010 será o ano da Pantera. Estamos todos vibrando com esta nova etapa do IDS.
Estou participando do IDS Beta program desde IDS10 (quando ele era ainda conhecido como 9.5). Ē uma grande experiência e uma maneira fantástica de conciliar entre ajudar a Informix e ter a oportunidade de conhecer melhor o produto.
Em termos de trabalho vivo (“production”) estamos em IDS 11.5 xC5 de maneira que estamos acompanhando as coisas bem de perto.
Em 2009 realizamos nossa segunda conferência internacional IIUG Informix e a despeito da situação economica mundial, ela foi um grande sucesso. E eu não poderia fechar o relatório anual sem agradecer ao grupo de voluntários que acessorou o Comitê de Planejamento da Conferência e à Diretoria da IIUG pelo apoio a este grande evento.
Em 2010 vamos realizar nossa conferência novamente em Kansas. A proximidade aos laboratórios Lenexa e os preços atrativos dos hotéis são imbatíveis.
No trabalho, tive um excelente ano também. Transferimos a maior parte de nosso código 4GL a Java EE. O projeto está progredindo de acordo com os planos. Java e Informix formam uma dupla perfeita e conseguimos manter o mesmo desempenho que tinhamos em nossos programas 4GL.
Vão aí os meus votos para que 2010 seja melhor do que nunca para a IBM e Informix. Mais usuários de Informix, mais membros no IIUG, uma maior e melhor conferência, mais conteúdo para o IIUG Insider; que seja um ano próspero e interessante com muita paz e felicidade a todos.

Have you tried the New Automatic Update Statistics?
If you have ever investigated performance tuning, you are well aware that correct optimizer statistics is probably one important area on which to spend your tuning effort. Good performance requires up-to-date statistics. Prior to IDS version 11, optimizer statistics could only be updated manually; thus the first task on most performance troubleshooting checklists was to update the statistics on all tables and indexes needed by the problematic queries. Starting in IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) version 11, IDS updates optimizer statistics automatically which greatly reduces the chances of your statistics being outdated.
Automatic Update statistics or AUS was introduced in IDS version 11.50 to automate the maintenance of optimizer statistics. It is a significant step towards administration-free database system.
Many of you might use some kind of script to run update statistics. Probably you run the script as a cron job to run automatically at a certain time and date. AUS does the exact same thing without any user intervention. AUS identifies all tables and indexes that require new optimizer statistics and executes appropriate update statistics commands to optimize query performance within a specific time period. It is very important that database transaction logging be turned on for AUS to run on tables and indexes in the database.
It is not only IDS, but most database servers maintain some kind of table and index statistics for optimizing query performance. In the IDS world, administrators must update statistics and distributions to influence the optimizer to run queries efficiently. Users often overlook this part and run into poor query performance.
The optimizer is a complex and mysterious object. It is true that update statistics commands you run today may not produce optimum performance after a certain period. It is also possible that similar database instances on different machines may need different update statistics commands for the same query. Most common questions around update statistics are: “What kind of statistics, distribution needs to update and when to run update statistics?” With AUS implementation you don’t need to worry about all these questions. AUS will run the correct update statistics commands automatically for you.
