Join IBM Informix with multiple data sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In conjunction with other products in the CONNX suite, you can perform seamless joins between two or more supported disparate databases using ODBC, OLE DB, .NET, and JDBC\u00ae. CONNX for IBM Informix is fast and efficient. With CONNX, a single metadata model can be created that spans all enterprise data sources and applications requiring data access. The result is an enterprise-wide view of data that provides a reusable standards-based framework for information access. To the user or application, data appears as if it existed in a single federated relational database.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SQL & CONNX for IBM Informix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CONNX distributed SQL engine reduces the workload on the server by performing CPU-intensive operations where the CONNX client resides (Linux\u00ae or Windows, e.g., remote desktop, web, and\/or application servers), while allowing the database engine to perform tasks for which it is best suited. CONNX directly imports Informix metadata from COBOL copybooks or text files. CONNX supports ANSI SQL (Insert, Update, Select, and Delete), group by, distinct, aggregate (AVG, MIN, MAX, SUM, and COUNT), and all substring, string, date, conversion, and math functions. Nested inner and outer left\/right joins are supported, as well as subqueries and correlated subqueries. CONNX also supports Unions, Inserts, and Selects.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CONNX supports creating views that hide table relationships from the end user. CONNX Views facilitate the creation of heterogeneous joins between multiple disparate databases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data conversions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

CONNX supports more than 600 data types and performs bi-directional data conversions for data updates and retrieval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table redefinition<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD) supports multiple record layouts of the same Informix file, based on a \u201crecord type\u201d field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security preserved and extended<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The CONNX Data Dictionary (CDD) is encrypted to secure sensitive information. It provides additional field and table-level security by group or user, ensuring information is protected. CONNX also supports row-level security with CONNX Views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metadata import<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

CONNX for IBM Informix imports Informix metadata directly from COBOL copybooks and a CONNX Text Specification file format into a CDD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
