Hands-on Informix DBA techniques that maximize performance and efficiency!

This is the first systematic, hands-on guide to installing, configuring, tuning, and administering Informix-Dynamic Server on Windows NT. Written by the former President of the International Informix Users Group, it delivers exactly what working DBAs need to simplify day-to-day administration and optimization.

Coverage reflects the entire lifecycle of an Informix database, including up-front design, installation, and initialization; building a database environment; administering databases, tables, instances and threads; backups and restores; and much more.

• For new and experienced Informix DBAs-especially those migrating from other platforms or versions
• Covers Informix Dynamic Server version 7.3-the newest, most full-featured Informix NT release
• Using the Windows High-Performance Loader in data warehouse, data mart and focused backup operations
• Using the ON-Bar backup interface with the Informix Storage Manager to backup and restore tables, dbspaces, or instances
• Comprehensive coverage of the Informix Enterprise Command Center and new SQL commands

You'll find detailed, practical coverage of both graphical and command-line tools, High Availability Data Replication (HADR), and every key factor in database performance, including query optimization, virtual processors, and Parallel Data Query (PDQ).

CD-ROM INCLUDED
