About This Manual
The IBM Informix OnLine Administrator’s Guide describes the powerful
Informix online transaction processing (OLTP) database server.
You do not need database management experience or familiarity with
relational database concepts to use this manual. However, a knowledge of
SQL (Structured Query Language) would be useful. For detailed information
about IBM Informix SQL, see the IBM Informix Guide to SQL: Tutorial and the
IBM Informix Guide to SQL: Reference.
This manual serves as both an administrator and operator guide and a
reference manual. Chapter 1, “Installation and Initial Configuration,”
supports the instructions provided in the UNIX Products Installation Guide.
Chapter 2, “System Architecture,” provides an optional, technical discussion
of the IBM Informix OnLine system architecture. Subsequent chapters explain
how to take advantage of all the features and functionality of the
IBM Informix OnLine database server.
