The Informix Blogsphere expands further

A new Informix blog is born:

Jacques Roy: Informix and Computing

Jacques Roy is an acknowledged Informix Expert for many many years. He wrote several books, articles and whitepapers about IDS. I had the pleasure to attend his presentation - Using the IBM Common API for IDS Web Applications - at IIUG 2008. He is a great presenter and I'm looking forward to his upcoming blog entries. Good to see that the Informix Blogosphere is further expanding.

SMI Query Series - Logical Log Space Used

The sysmaster interface (SMI) presents a comfortable way to extract information about various parts of your running IDS instance. This information can be used for:

• ad hoc analysis of performance problems
• determining the status of several IDS sub components
• monitoring replication metrics
• sampling data for capacity planning purposes

New Ruby/Informix Website

If you are an Informix fan - you probably are as you are visiting The Informix Zone - and you are looking for a powerful, easy to learn and robust programming language, take a deeper look at Ruby. Combined with the Ruby on Rails framework, Ruby is an extremely efficient language for developing web based applications. Applications that probably need a high performance OLTP cluster database like IDS.

Haste makes Waste - Stored Procedure Recompilation

During the study of the release notes of the new IDS 10.00.FC8 version I noticed a long anticipated feature that already made it into IDS 10.00.FC7:

Enhanced Concurrency after Recompilation of SPL Routines

The problem of locked rows in the dictionary table sysprocplan is something that comes up in many IDS installations that work intensively with stored procedures. The recommendation to reoptimize the stored procedures manually after DDL changes - update statistics for procedure - helps to avoid the problem but is more a kind of a workaround and is often forgotten by the administrator or application developer.
