IBM Informix OnLine
IBM Informix OnLine
Product Overview
The IBM Informix OnLine database server combines high-availability, online
transaction-processing (OLTP) performance with multimedia capabilities. By
managing its own shared-memory resources and disk I/O, OnLine delivers
process concurrency while maintaining transaction isolation. Table data can
span multiple disks, freeing administrators fromconstraints imposed by data
storage limitations. The
IBM Informix STAR product brings OnLine perfor-
mance to users throughout a client/server environment. The IBM Informix
TP/XA product allows you to use the OnLine database server as a Resource
Manager within an X/Open environment.

opment tools currently available, including products like IBM Informix SQL,
