Highlights: Modifications to the Innovator-C Edition of Informix Welcome to the International Informix Users Group (IIUG) Insider! Designed for IIUG members and Informix user group leaders, this publication contains timely and relevant information for the IBM Informix community. Contents:
The world is focused on the 2012 Olympics in London. Unfortunately there is no competition for databases. If there was, Informix would gain more gold medals then the USA and China combined. Nevertheless, for all sport fans from all over the globe I wish well to you all. Enjoy. Gary Ben-Israel
Modifications to the Innovator-C Edition of Informix IBM has made modifications to the Innovator-C Edition of Informix. Many of the previous limits were too broad and were not sustainable for our business partners. Innovator-C continues to be a robust database requiring little or no administration for small-to-midsized applications, available at no-charge. The revised 11.70 Innovator-C Edition includes the following capabilities and limits:

Should I install my Informix tools in the same directory as my Informix Server? When products are built with different versions of CSDK, or include a different version of CSDK, they must be installed in separate directories. The Informix server 11.50 is shipped with a Client SDK (CSDK) whose version matches the server version. Informix 11.50.xC9 will ship with CSDK 3.50.xC9, where 'x' is F for 64 bit systems, and 'x' is either U,T or H for 32 bit systems. Likewise, Informix server 11.70 is shipped with a Client SDK whose version matches the server version. Informix 11.70.xC5 will ship with CSDK 3.70.xC5, etc.. The tools such as the 4GL compiler, debugger, or rapid development system, or ISQL (and their respective runtimes) are also built with CSDK. The version of CSDK used will depend on the current release level of CSDK at that time, and whether it is intended to be used with Informix 11.50 or Informix 11.70. Because of product architectural issues, 3.50.* and 3.70.* libraries cannot be mixed. Doing so will lead to application failure. Failure symptoms may include, but are not limited to blank form screens and core dumps. Application program failures do not appear to effect data in the database. When you install tools in the same directory, you may overwrite the library of one product with the same library of the second product. This is not a problem as long as the products are built with the same version of CSDK, down to the minor release level. (e.g. 3.50.xC5 where C5 is the minor release). If the products are built with different versions of CSDK, it may cause problems which lead to application program failure. If you have products which have been built with different versions of CSDK and installing them in the same directory has led to problems such as blank screens and core dumps, then segregate the products by CSDK build version. Set your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables as appropriate for the users. You can find the version of CSDK used to build a tool by untaring the product file, and checking the machine notes file under $INFORMIXDIR/release/ Note that the version of the tool and the version of CSDK used are not necessarily the same. For example, 4GL 7.50.xC6 was built with CSDK 3.70.xC4. Jeffrey Cauhape
