[comp.databases] Informix User's Group

flak@slovax.UUCP (Dan Flak) (01/08/87)

Here is the list of the Informix Mail group as of 8 Jan 87
If you sent me mail, and your name is not on the list, either
try again, or post it.

The listings are (intercept the path wherever you can):

Dan Flak              ...tikal!slovax!flak
Leo Wilson            ...sunybcs!npdpl!leo
Jeff Ewing            ...pollux!killer!lngnck!ewing
jmc                   ...teleop!ames!ptsfa!jmc
George M. Sipe        ...seismo!gatech!rebel!george
Helmut Ludwigs        ...seismo!unido!quando!ludwigs
Steve Paddock         ...seismo!ut-sally!ut-n!paddock
Gunnar Stefabsson     ...seismo!mcvaxx!hafro!gunnar
Steven Harrison       ...rutgers!sdcsvax!wolf!steve
Kristjan Jonasson     ...seismo!mcvax!keilir!kristjan

It may be of interest to provide a better listing of who does what where
with whatever. (In other words, what type of machine, what version of
Informix, operating systems, etc.). I'll start with myself:

flak@slovax.UUCP (02/26/87)

   Here's the Feb 87 version of the Informix User's Group Membership List.
As usual, I have sent a mail test to each member of the group. If you
see yourself on this posting, but did not get the test, send me mail at
the signature block at the bottom, or return path at the top.

All path names are relative to my station, so intercept them where
you can. (You can always work out a path to my station, and back
out to an individual eliminating "retracing").

For anyone wishing to join the group:
   It's an informal group. My only involvement in it is to collect a
list of people who use Informix so we know who we can ask for help
if we run across problems. This will keep postings on the net down
since we can mail one another directly. If you wish to join, send me
mail, and I'll get your name on the list.

Now for some general comments:

Dan Flak: My company is considering a switch from 3.30 to SQL. I have already 
seen one bad review. Any comments?

Gunnar Stefansson: Has anyone tried Informix on an IBM/PC? Can someone
who has tried this tell us whether the product is too heavy on the machine
to be useful? Comparisons with other products would be of interest.

(What about Gunnar's question? - Dave Barker, Lars Hammarstrand, Stu Heiss,
Per Ericson, Stan Voket? - Dan)

And now the list:

	Gunnar,
	(Informix Users)

	I have, and still use, INFORMIX on my PC/XT at home. I have no
    complaints at all about the speed of the product. My PC/XT is a
    high speed 8 MHz machine and I always use the high speed when using
    INFORMIX. Also, I might note that I use a 30 meg hard disk with INFORMIX.
    I don't really beleive that one could use INFORMIX on a floppy drive
    system.

	As far as other DBMS products, I have not used any other product
    on my PC/XT as much as I have INFORMIX. Since we use INFORMIX at work
    and I have INFORMIX at home, any requirement I have for a database
    I find myself using INFORMIX, which I feel is a very mature and complete
    development product. An associate of mine does a lot of commercial
    programming in DBASE II with which he is very familiar. He is also an
    avid user of INFORMIX at work. He prefers INFORMIX to DBASE II, but
    it is not available on his clients systems.  Although we have not ran
    any kind of benchmark on either product, we have heard that DBASE II 
    or III runs fairly slow on the PC because they interpret text files.
    As far as being a complete development system DBASE III+ may be
    somewhat more comparable to the INFORMIX product.

	If some benchmark results are of interest, I might be persuaded
    to provide some on the INFORMIX PC (ie: dbbuild,keyed query,etc).

allbery@ncoast.UUCP (03/03/87)

As quoted from <303@slovax.UUCP> by flak@slovax.UUCP (Dan Flak):
+---------------
| Dan Flak: My company is considering a switch from 3.30 to SQL. I have already 
| seen one bad review. Any comments?
+---------------

I have a comment:  I use Informix-SQL occasionally on my ``real'' job, and do
Informix 3.30 consulting as well.  I prefer Informix 3.30; if you have a C
library, you can always use yacc (bison, etc.) to put together an SQL, QUEL,
etc.  Informix-SQL requires you to use Embedded SQL for C.  Ever try to write
an MRP generation system using a non-procedural language?  It's stuff for
nightmares.  Informix-4GL was worse.  I finally concluded that I could write
one but that it'd be horrendous both in speed and disk space, and got a demo
for ACCELL (UNIFY is slow, but it has a C interface.  Benchmarks I've done show
UNIFY's C hooks to be faster than Informix-SQL for MRP and similar activities.)

Major complaint:  WHY ISN'T INFORMIX 3.30 STILL SUPPORTED?  (i.e. use it for a
4GL product, etc.  No doubt you can still get answers to technical questions
from ISI.)

flak@slovax.UUCP (03/24/87)

   Thanks for everyone's help in getting the correct path to
andrews@trlde.oz.

   This month's posting is a little early since I'm off to
vaction in the Big Apple. See ya next month.

   I am working on a flight planning program using Informix
to store the waypoints / navaids. Since I'm doing this in my
"spare time", it will take several months to complete. If Anybody
out there is interested, I'll let you know how it comes out.

   Please note, I am not sending out a mail check this month. I've
sent mail to those sites with which I've had problems, and it hasn't
been kicked back. I think I got everyone's path straight.

Here's the latest membership list:

"
    I have also spotted a problem in I4GL version 1.0.

    If you have an alpha (char type) field that is being used with a
    picture field as follows

    PICTURE="AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA"

    and try to INPUT into it, the user can not use any of the editing
    functions. This includes toggling from insert to overtype, deleting
    characters, and deleting the rest of the field.
"

The same problem exists in PERFORM in version 3.30 (plain vanilla 
Informix). You can only overtype data if *any* kind of a picture is
involved. Attempting anything else gives you the error message:

"You cannot use this editing function because a picture exists".

at the bottom of the screen. We seem to be stuck with it.

I've also encountered a different problem with using Informix across
systems.

The good news is that Informix Databases developed on a WICAT
will work on HP 320's. (Simply uucp the files over!). I'm still
skeptical about this, but it appears to be working so far.

The bad news is that ACE programs aceprep'ed on one machine will not
acego on the other. We have an application where users can mail reports
around, and when they crossed from one system to another, we got a
message about the version numbers being incompatible when running
acego. The easy solution would be to have the user recompile the source
on the target system, but this option is not available in our setup.
Fortunately, we have the source and the license for WICAT Informix. We
were able to determine that the problem was caused by round off error
in the version numbers and made the appropriate patch.

I imagine that there's a similar problem with formbuild and perform.
We don't use them across systems in our applications so I wouldn't
know.

Here is the June version of the Informix Users' Group.

Anyone who missed my posting on undocumented featues, and wants
it, please E-mail me.

I will be out of town (playing with my Guard Unit in Europe) for
most of July. If you need to get in touch with me, use E-mail.
I won't be reading the net for a while.
