Résumé

The fast, easy way to leverage IDS 9.x's full object-relational power!

  • Supercharge your next IDS-9.x application!
  • "Bladelets": easy DataBlade building blocks for powerful object-relational solutions
  • Covers Vtables, temporal data management, hierarchical problems, text manipulation, BLOBs, and much more
  • CD-ROM: Open source bladelet code for solving a wide range of business problems

Object-relational databases offer immense power — but many database professionals have failed to use it, because doing so required them to write their own DataBlade extensions. This book presents a breakthrough solution: bladelets. Created by a team of Informix' leading DataBlade experts, bladelets serve as building blocks, bringing Informix Dynamic Server 9.x ORDBMS power to bear on a wide range of business problems, while requiring far less original programming.

All ten bladelets are covered in detail, with open source code provided on CD-ROM. Whether you use them "as is," or as the model for your own DataBlades, they can dramatically improve the performance, value, and time-to-market of your very next database application. Coverage includes:

  • Solving hierarchical problems
  • Extending SQL to support temporal data management
  • Accessing external files through SQL
  • Using SQL as a data type
  • Overcoming database portability problems
  • Manipulating text with regular expressions
  • Removing LVARCHAR size limits
  • Using BLOBs more effectively
  • Managing multiple versions of your data with virtual tables, and much more

CD-ROM INCLUDED

The accompanying CD-ROM contains all of the book's code examples — plus a toolbox of open-source DataBlades, complete with source code, designed to quickly solve a wide range of business problems.
