turbo vs online
Posted in 2008
eeek !!!!!!!!!!!! for the last time turbo was the first non SE database server. It was not online 4.0 check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informix "A series of releases followed, including a new query engine, initially known as INFORMIX-Turbo. Turbo used the new RSAM, with great multi-user performance benefits over C-ISAM. With the release of the version 4.00 products in 1989, Turbo was renamed INFORMIX-OnLine (in part because it permitted coherent database backups while the server was online and users were modifying the data), and the original server based on C-ISAM was separated from the tools (ISQL and I4GL) and named INFORMIX-SE (Standard Engine). Version 5.00 of Informix OnLine was released at the very end of 1990, and included full distributed transaction support with two-phase commit and stored procedures. Version 5.01 was released with support for triggers too." Most of the above is correct except that year of release of version 5.0 is wrong. Informix version 5.0 was released either end of 91 or early 1992 (AFAIK)
