Author Description
This hands-on guide explains how to implement the plug-in modules of DataBlades (from Informix) in order to transform traditional relationship databases by adding objects and multimedia images for use on and off the Web. From the fundamentals of DataBlades and the related Universal Server, to development tools, applications, components and systems architecture, the author covers the whole of DataBlades.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates the technical implementation and integration of Informix DataBlades to extend traditional relational database functionality for object-oriented and multimedia applications. George W. Anderson, an expert in database management systems, provides a structured framework for transitioning from standard relational models to the Universal Server architecture. The text synthesizes technical specifications with practical development methodologies to assist database administrators and architects in deploying complex data types within enterprise environments.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Technical architecture of the Informix Universal Server
- Implementation strategies for plug-in DataBlade modules
- Integration techniques for multimedia and object-oriented data
- Development tools and component-based system design
Scope Limits
- Does not cover non-Informix database management systems
- Excludes high-level theoretical database design not related to DataBlades
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts recognize this text as a foundational technical manual for legacy Informix database environments. Readers frequently note the high level of technical detail, which serves as a practical reference for developers working specifically with the Universal Server platform.
