Description

INFORMIX-OnLine

Informix-OnLine enables users to store and retrieve digitized sounds and images, graphics, spreadsheets, facsimiles, and word processing documents as ordinary fields in a data base record.

Informix-OnLine has been designed for multiuser, mission-critical AIX/UNIX environments and multimedia applications. It offers a comprehensive locking and recovery scheme that includes custom locking definitions, disk mirroring and automatic data base recovery after system failure. It also features online archiving and a cost-based optimizer that accelerates data retrieval and storage.

INFORMIX-SE

INFORMIX-SE is Informix's SQL data base engine for decision support applications. It is easy to install and use, and offers solid performance with low maintenance requirements.

INFORMIX-4GL

INFORMIX-4GL has full screen building, report writing and SQL data base I/O capabilities in a single programming language. It combines procedural and non-procedural statements, providing the user with optimal power and flexibility without the need for third generation languages like C or COBOL. INFORMIX-4GL is based on ANSI standard SQL and is Level 2 compatible. It is portable across hardware and operating system platforms.

INFORMIX-4GL RDS

INFORMIX-4GL RDS, a member of the INFORMIX-4GL family, uses the same syntax and offers all the features and functionality of INFORMIX-4GL. The source code is compiled in one step into pseudo-code (p-code), read into memory and executed by an interpreter. This greatly improves productivity, eliminates the need for a C-compiler and makes the code easily portable from one platform to another.

INFORMIX-4GL ID

INFORMIX-4GL ID helps monitor application execution, and spot and repair problems quickly. It allows the programmer to stop a program at specific points, locate bugs, make changes, and test new code before inserting it into a program. The Interactive Debugger works in conjunction with INFORMIX-4GL RDS.

INFORMIX-SQL

INFORMIX-SQL, built on ANSI-standard SQL, is an interactive data base access tool that includes a query-by-example forms builder, a report writer, and a menu builder. INFORMIX-SQL is a full-featured application development tool for fast and easy systems. It is a menu driven RDBMS which makes it easy to set up data bases, build menus, create reports, and design screens. With INFORMIX-SQL, both developers and sophisticated end users can build data bases and perform ad hoc queries.

INFORMIX-ESQL/C, COBOL, FORTRAN

INFORMIX-ESQL/C, COBOL, FORTRAN uses the speed and flexibility of industry standard SQL statements (English-like) to perform complex data manipulation routines simply and quickly. It gives the user the power to create and alter data bases and tables, add indexes, and retrieve and modify data. INFORMIX-ESQL/C, COBOL, FORTRAN reduces the amount of code required to perform data base manipulation functions from within a C, COBOL or FORTRAN program.

INFORMIX-QuickStep

INFORMIX-QuickStep is an interactive report generator that enables users to build sophisticated SQL data base queries and custom reports through an easy-to-use interface. It provides pull down menu options and query-by-example, enabling users with no experience in SQL syntax to easily develop queries and reports. QuickStep also speeds application development by enabling developers to prototype reports quickly by offering optional Informix-4GL code generation.

INFORMIX-STAR

INFORMIX-STAR enables users to access and manipulate data from Informix data bases on multiple remote servers, with the actual location of the data transparent to the user. It offers multi-site read and single-site update capabilities, and provides fast performance and reliability for distributed data base applications. Fast performance is achieved through a cost-based optimizer, and reliability is ensured through site autonomy, making each server independent of the other data base servers on the network.

INFORMIX-NET

INFORMIX-NET works in conjunction with the other products in the INFORMIX family. It enables distribution processing across local area networks (LANs), optimizing human and computer resources while minimizing traffic. It supports heterogeneous computers and operating systems.

INFORMIX-NET improves network and application performance by connecting a variety of client workstations to departmental or corporate data base servers. INFORMIX-NET supports industry standard network protocols (TCP/IP and AT&T StarGROUP). INFORMIX-NET features include data base location transparency, heterogeneous computers and operating systems, data security, integrity and recovery across a network.

C-ISAM

C-ISAM is a library of C functions that effectively manages indexed files. It has B + Tree index architecture and index keys which provide quick data retrieval, offer flexible indexing options, provide a high degree of security due to file and record-level locking and audit trail capabilities, and easily maintain and manage files according to the specifications of the user.

WINGZ

WINGZ is an easy-to-use, fast, versatile, state-of-the-art, graphical spreadsheet that fully exploits graphical environments. It allows business and technical professionals to easily combine numbers, words, charts, and graphic images on a single worksheet and on a single printed page.

WINGZ features a powerful spreadsheet, advanced charting and desktop presentation capabilities. It also includes the Hyperscript application development language. This is a powerful programming language that makes it easy for users to build custom applications for graphical environments. WINGZ has superior business, engineering and scientific charting, impressive 3-D graphics, full color support, and desktop presentation techniques which allow the user to combine text with graphs, drawings, and imported graphics, and the Hyperscript application development language.
