Re: Informix versus oracle

I forgot to include the rest of us on this... ---------------------- Forwarded by Chris St. Aubin/REEBOK on 06/12/2003 03:54 PM --------------------------- Chris St. Aubin 06/12/2003 03:53 PM To: Daniel Morgan <damorgan@exxesolutions.com> cc: Subject: Re: Informix versus oracle (Document link: Chris St. Aubin) Try: The Informix Handbook by Ron Flannery - Informix Press Informix DBA Survival Guide by Joe Lumbley - Prentice Hall But I have to argue with your reference to the Informix Manuals. They are well organised and get to the point. I would read the above texts and refer to the manuals to dig in further as required. Also if possible, attend your local Informix User Group if there is one and make contacts that you can ping once in a while for help. -Chris Daniel Morgan <damorgan@exxesolutions.com>@iiug.org on 06/12/2003 12:17:15 PM Please respond to Daniel Morgan <damorgan@exxesolutions.com> Sent by: owner-informix-list@iiug.org To: informix-list@iiug.org cc: Subject: Re: Informix versus oracle Obnoxio The Clown wrote: > Vincento Harris wrote: > > > Is anyone willing to recommend a good book I can use to start with in > > Informix > > > > As usual your ideas are very welcome > > The manuals, definitely.

The only thing worth discussing is third-party books. -- Daniel Morgan http://www.outreach.washington.edu/extinfo/certprog/oad/oad_crs.asp damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace 'x' with a 'u' to reply)
