Overview
IBM Informix(TM) Client SDK (CSDK) V2.9 and its runtime product IBM Informix Connect RT V2.9, IBM Informix Server Administrator (ISA) V1.6, and IBM Informix Java(TM) Database Connectivity (JDBC) V3.0 are client connectivity and system management tools for all Informix brand server products.
CSDK contains a collection of APIs that can speed development of applications that work with IBM Informix database servers. Developers can write applications in the language they prefer and build one application to access multiple IBM Informix databases. CSDK V2.9 contains a more robust and feature-rich ESQL/C module that adds flexibility and reliability for Informix OnLine Extended customers with ESQL/C application development needs and benefits Informix 4GL customers who write applications connecting to IDS servers. Starting from IBM Informix ESQL/C V2.9, the esql command can be used to compile ESQL/C applications to access DB2® V8.2, or later servers and databases running on Linux(TM), UNIX®, and Windows(TM) operating systems. The JDBC driver allows Java programs to access database management systems. These latest versions support XPS V.8.5. Informix Connect RT V2.9 is a runtime connectivity product that is required by applications running on client machines when accessing Informix servers.
JDBC V3.0 is a platform-independent, industry-standard Type 4 JDBC driver that provides enhanced support for distributed transactions and is optimized to work with IBM WebSphere® Application Server. JDBC V3.0 promotes accessibility to IBM Informix database servers from Java client applications, provides openness through XML support, fosters scalability through its connection pool management feature, and supports extensibility with a user-defined data type (UDT) routine manager that simplifies the creation and use of UDTs.
New features added to ISA V1.6 allow for simplified enterprise replication administration and single user mode.
CSDK V2.9 and Connect RT V2.9 include a robust and enhanced native. NET provider that is integrated with Visual Studio .NET 2003 to support Rapid Application Development for .NET applications written against Informix databases.
