Hello Could anyone recommend a good Informix Online Dynamic Server book. I did a search in Amazon.com but I could not decide on which one to choose. Thanks in advance. Ajay

For NT Carlton Doe's "Administering Informix Dynamic Server on Windows NT" is quite good (it's the only one for NT). He focusses on administration, configuration, backup and setup only. There's nothing about programming and 4GL/SQL or something like this. A Backup-CBT is included as well as a licensed 7.30.TC6 and some Unix-Scripts (????) but no online book :-(((. For Unix there is much more available (spending half the book describing VI, I think) covering everything.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but I recommend that you take a trip to your local Borders or Barnes & Noble bookstore and see which one you like. The caveat is that you'll find plenty of Oracle references, a lot for Sybase, but often very little for Informix.

Hi Ajay, I recommend "Informix Unleashed" (published by SAMS - ISBN 0-672-30650-6). This book explains the concepts really well - it not only covers IDS but also Online, SE and Universal Server. It is a big book (over 1000 pages) and includes detailed info not only on Informix Admin but also SQL, Application Development and Data Modelling - it also comes with a CD-ROM that contains heaps of tools, utilities and scripts.
