Using the industry’s widest range of database drivers, you can create a single view of multiple databases and allow real-time access to consume the data as it is being updated in real time.
Join IMS with multiple data sources
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®. CONNX for IMS is fast and efficient. With CONNXその結果、すべての企業データソースとデータアクセスを必要とするアプリケーションにまたがる単一のメタデータモデルを作成することができる。その結果、情報アクセスのための再利用可能な標準ベースのフレームワークを提供する、企業全体のデータビューが実現します。ユーザーやアプリケーションにとって、データはあたかも単一の連携リレーショナルデータベースに存在するかのように見える。
SQL & CONNX for IMS
The CONNX distributed SQL engine reduces the workload placed on the mainframe by performing CPU-intensive operations where the CONNX client resides (Linux® or Windows®, i.e., remote desktop, web and/or application server). The database calls are low level and minimize impact on the system. CONNX directly imports IMS metadata from the IMS Database Descriptions (DBDs). 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 and Insert/Select.
