1. IDS Performance tuning
by Joseph Lobo, Principal Trainer
Data Management Solutions/Software Group
Joseph Lobo is a Principal Trainer with IBM's Data Management Group.
For the last three years he has been teaching Informix classes like
System Administration, Performance Tuning, Internals, and Trouble
Shooting. For ten years prior to that he taught UNIX classes in
System Administration, Performance Tuning, and System V Release 3
Internals.
Joe's presentation will cover aspects of IDS and UNIX Performance
Tuning. He will discuss various points of contention, with emphasis
on monitoring and tuning.
2. Geospatial Data (included with releases of IDS 9.3).
by Jonathan W. Lowe, Geospatial Evangelist
IBM Informix Software, Inc.
Geospatial Data Models offer today's spatial professionals several
advantages not previously available with traditional CAD, GIS, or
relational database technology. Spatial data stored in a database
can be a data "ecosystem" rather than simply raw data. Sharing not
only your data, but the rules governing its use and behavior conveys
several advantages over the traditional file-system storage techniques.
Geospatial data models sometimes include moving devices that transmit
their changing physical coordinates to a central database, and serving
as the source for location-based services. Real-time data presents
different technical challenges than traditional static GIS data,
especially with 100,000 or more moving objects. There's a set of
summary web pages for the talk at

3. Server Studio.
Server Studio JE (Java Edition) 2.3 is an OS platform-independent
enterprise-level, visual, Integrated Development & Management
Environment (IDME) jointly developed by IBM Informix and AGS Ltd.
to provide an open architecture tools deployment platform that
will serve as the common foundation for current and future
development, deployment, and management tools for IBM Informix
database servers.
Server Studio JE features an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical
interface that virtually eliminates the learning curve and sets
a new standard for productivity in development, debugging,
analysis, optimization, deployment, and management of database
applications. Now, developers can leverage IBM Informix's latest
database server technologies and deliver high quality, critical
line-of-business solutions in record time, while DBAs can effectively
manage them with unprecedented ease. Because it's written in Java,
Server Studio JE users can work in Windows, Unix or Linux, using
a coherent and familiar set of state-of-the-art tools.
IBM Informix will provide the core functional version of Server
Studio JE at no cost. It will contain the following basic database
management tools:
- Database Object Explorer
- Properties Inspector
- SQL Editor
- Table Editor
The Server Studio JE application framework seamlessly integrates the
core database management tools, while providing each of them with
independent object containers. The database Connections Manager
handles a pool of multiple logical and physical database connections,
enabling each open container to maintain its own connection. This
permits the user to work simultaneously with multiple objects (for
example: to open two Table Editors, three SQL Editors and the
Properties Inspector) whether these objects reside on the same
or different servers or whether the servers are the same or
different types. Further product details are available at:
