Highlights: The IBM Support Portal
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:
I would like to invite you to find out everything there is to know about the Panther. No, this is not a recommendation to watch the National Geographic channel. The Panther I am referring to is the new Informix 11.7 released last month. And the best place to find about it will be the IIUG Informix Conference in Kansas May 15-18, 2011. Make sure you don't miss this opportunity. Combine a unique educational experience, meeting friends and colleagues and most important make a statement: Informix is growing.
After the big hype (you are invited to read the news section in the Insider) we are all waiting to see Informix gaining additional market share. I believe the load of new exciting features, the new pricing model and the efforts in sales and marketing will make it happen.
For more information and to register, go to http://www.iiug.org/conf.
If you have success stories you can share with us please let me know.

The IBM Support Portal
The IBM Support Portal is a unified, centralized view of all technical support tools and information for all IBM systems, software, and services. You can tailor the portal pages to suit your needs, focusing on the products you care about and organizing the pages to reflect the way you work. The goal is to simplify your online support experience, reduce the time it takes for you to solve problems, and alert you to information that helps you avoid problems.
Whether you need to open or check on a Service Request (PMR), find a fixpack, research a problem, plan an installation, or check on the latest Flashes for your products, the Support Portal can help. You only need one bookmark (http://www.ibm.com/supportportal) to find it all.
Here's how you can explore some of the portal's key features:
- It's easy to get started. Just go to the IBM Support Portal, select a product and go to the page for the task you are interested in. Information in the portal will focus on your selected product. You can add (or delete) products from your product list at any time in the Choose our products section on the left. When you do, the content of the portal pages changes to reflect the products in your list. To quickly focus on a product in your list without changing the list, simply uncheck the other products.
- Enter your search in the support search box in the right column to get results focused on technical support for your products. On the results page, use the search filters to focus the search results even more. You can filter by document type, task, and if you have only one product selected, version. The filters help you quickly narrow results to the information you need.
- Sign in so you can customize your pages. Add, delete, and rearrange the portlets in the center of the page, setting them up with exactly the resources you need. The drag-and-drop interface is easy to use.
- Once signed in, you can see your subscribed notifications in the Notifications portlet on the Overview page. Subscribe to different types of notifications for your products and edit your notification settings via the link in the portlet. See helpful information before you know you need it.
- Find the fixes you need on the Downloads page. Links in the Downloads and fixes portlet take you right to the list of fixes for your products.
- If you use the Service Request tool, go to the Open Service Request page to see your draft and open PMRs. If you're signed in, you'll see them listed right in the portlet. Click a PMR to update it or click the Open link to open a new PMR.
To stay up-to-date and find out more about the IBM Support Portal and other IBM Electronic Support tools:
With each new release, IBM continues to improve the Support Portal, so be sure and use the feedback link in the right column of the portal to suggest the improvements and enhancements you'd like to see.

Java program to allow simple SQL through an IBM JDBC driver
This simple java program, jsql, was initially written to provide a method to execute SQL statements against a database server in the same way as you can do with the Informix 'dbaccess' or DB2 'db2cli'.
Because JDBC is the standard way to operate with a relational database from a Java application, this tool can be used to run sql statements against an Informix , DB2 or Solid database - in fact any database that has its own JDBC driver.
SQL statements, such as SELECT or UPDATE, can be passed in via an sql file ( or from the command line ) and the results are reported back in a similar fashion to the Informix dbaccess utility.
For example - sending in the following sql in a file called 'test.sql'...
- - - test.sql - - -
SELECT FIRST 3 customer_num,fname FROM customer;
- - - - - - - - - -
...via the jsql program...
java jsql com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver 'jdbc:informix-sqli://mymachine:9089/stores_dem
o:informixserver=myol1150;user=informix;password=xxxxxxxx;' test.sql
...will return...
customer_num fname
101 Ludwig
102 Carole
103 Philip
3 row(s) retrieved.
The jsql tool also accepts multiple statements, so it can be used to run something like...
- - - test.sql - - -
create table t1( c1 char(20) ) ;
insert into t1 values ("test data" );
select * from t1;
update t1 set c1 = "test data updated";
select * from t1;
drop table t1;
- - - - - - - - - - -
...when the jsql program is run...
$ java jsql com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver 'jdbc:informix-sqli://mymachine:9089/stores_d
emo:informixserver=myol1150;user=informix;password=xxxxxxxx;' test.sql
...the output will be...
0 row(s) affected.
1 row(s) affected.
c1
test data
1 row(s) retrieved.
1 row(s) affected.
c1
test data updated
1 row(s) retrieved.
0 row(s) affected.
As mentioned earlier, this tool can be used with any JDBC driver. Its has been tested to a lesser or greater extend with the following JDBC drivers connecting to their respective databases : Indeed the com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver can be used to connect to an Informix database via the drda protocol.
com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver against an Informix server
com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver against Informix and DB2 servers
solid.jdbc.SolidDriver against Solid DB
To be able to compile and use the jsql tool, make sure that you have your CLASSPATH set to the JDBC driver jar file(s) you wish to use - and also to the directory containing the jsql.class and that you have a suitable JVM in your environment.
Compiling is as simple as...
To execute an SQL statement, just pass the connection string and the SQL query (or the name of a text file with the SQL statements)
java jsql com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver 'jdbc:informix-sqli://mymachine:9089/...' 'CREA
TE TABLE t1 (c1 INT)'
In simple terms the code will:
Take the input parameters
Reads the sql from the supplied sql file - ( or from the command line )
Loads the supplied jdbc driver
Creates a connection to the database using the supplied URL
Executes the supplied sql ( dependant on type ( select , insert, delete , update , DDL ) )
Before the execution of the SQL statements, the jsql tool retrieves MetaData from the database to obtain the column name and length information so that it can correctly print out the results of any SQL to the screen.
The jsql tool can be used as an example of how to perform basic operations with a JDBC driver, the code can be extended to allow for more complex sql if required.
You can find more information on working with the JDBC Drivers for an Informix database in a recently published IBM redbook 'IBM Informix Developer's Handbook' (SG24-7884-00):

It will also be a good occasion to get in touch with others or long-time-no-seen friends. If you fancy showing the Informix logo on your profile, join. To join, simply go to
