No we won't ever ever advertise individual products....

Submitted by eherber on June 30, 2010 - 13:59

We have heard it so many times from IBM: "No we won't ever ever advertise individual products...."

However it seems to me that for certain products IBM finds subtle ways to bypass their own policy:

We Have the Technology

Submitted by fho on June 29, 2010 - 22:39

   In case you're not one of the approximately 1 Billion people tuned into the World Cup soccer event, there was yet another huge controversy similar to the one back in 1966 between the same two teams. If you don't know what I'm referring to, it is the goal that England should have been given in their match with Germany this past weekend. You can see the actual YouTube segment with this link:

Session Memory Profiler, what we have now.

Submitted by mjamison on June 24, 2010 - 22:38

HI all,

A couple of weeks ago I asked about the usefulness of a Memory Profiler for Database Sessions. While I want to have another blog post on that perhaps hashing out what application developers would really like I wanted to about what we have as an option right now if we are trying to profile memory. While it often seems like we have very little info, we really have quite a bit, just as the Feature Request suggest, not always useful. 
So what tools do we have at our disposal today for memory profiling?

For all of you working with Informix in combination with IBM Websphere, the following IBM RedPaper might be interesting and helpful. It covers the definition of data sources and contains a good description for performing those tasks in Websphere with IBM Informix as database backend:

Cloud Computing and Informix

Submitted by mjamison on June 23, 2010 - 14:55

 Hi All,

One of the things that Rob Thomas talked about at IIUG this year was how there would be increased content for Informix. Developerworks is one of those locations and we have a relative new tutorial out on cloud computing. 
If you are interested in Cloud Computing this is well worth the read, from an Informix standpoint.

I only just found this RSS feed list, which offers support information for a whole range of IBM Information Management products, including several for Informix.

I wasn't, until very recently, aware of this extremely useful set of RSS feeds. I hope that somebody finds them useful!

(Eric, you might also want to put it up on this site somewhere?)
