  • HCL Informix® V14.10 documentation

    Welcome to the documentation for HCL Informix® 14.10 and related client tools and products. The current fix pack level of Informix is 14.10.xC12.

  • Product overview

    HCL Informix® is a fast and scalable database server that manages traditional relational, object-relational, and dimensional databases. Its small footprint and self-managing capabilities are suited to embedded data-management solutions.

  • Installing

    These topics describe how to install HCL Informix® database servers, client products, and DataBlade® modules.

  • Administering

    In addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.

    • System administration

      These topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL Informix® database servers.

    • Backup and Restore Guide

      The Informix® Backup and Restore Guide describes how to use the Informix ON-Bar and ontape utilities to back up and restore database server data. These utilities enable you to recover your databases after data is lost or becomes corrupted due to hardware or software failure or accident.

    • Enterprise Replication

      The HCL® Informix® Enterprise Replication Guide describes the concepts of data replication using Informix Enterprise Replication, including how to design your replication system, as well as administer and manage data replication throughout your enterprise.

  • Migrating and upgrading

    You can upgrade to the 14.10 release of HCL Informix® or migrate from other database servers to Informix. Upgrading is an in-place migration method that uses your existing hardware and operating system software. Some changes to the Informix database server can affect upgrading from a previous release.

  • Client APIs and tools

    You can use the HCL Informix® implementation of client APIs to develop applications for Informix database servers.

  • Embedding Informix®

    When you embed HCL Informix®, you can use enterprise-class high-availability and high performance with embeddability features such as easy programmability, a small disk and memory footprint, and silent deployment.

  • Extending Informix®

    Beyond standard relational database objects, HCL Informix® can be extended to handle specialized data types, access methods, routines, and other objects. Informix includes many built-in extensions that are fully integrated in the database server. Informix also provides DataBlade® modules, which are packages of extended database objects for a particular purpose and that are installed separately from the database server. Alternatively, you can create your own user-defined objects for Informix.

  • Data warehousing

    In addition to designing and implementing Informix® dimensional databases, you can use tools to create data warehouse applications and optimize your data warehouse queries.

  • Designing databases

    The first step in creating a relational database is to construct a data model, which is a precise, complete definition of the data you want to store. After you prepare your data model, you must implement it as a database and tables. To implement your data model, you first select a data type for each column and then you create a database and tables and populate the tables with data. You can also implement fragmentation strategies and control access to your data.

  • JSON compatibility

    You can use the popular JSON-oriented query language created by MongoDB to interact with data stored in HCL Informix®.

  • Security

    You can secure your Informix® database server and the data that is stored in your Informix databases. You can encrypt data, secure connections, control user privileges and access, and audit data security.

  • SQL programming

    You can use the HCL Informix® implementation of the SQL language to develop applications for Informix database servers.

  • Troubleshooting HCL Informix®

    Several troubleshooting techniques, tools, and resources are available for resolving problems that you encounter in your HCL Informix® database server environment.
