Re: Re: IDS Next Version - features wanted.

My goodnes: VTI = Virtual-Table Interface Quotes from Virtual-[Index|Table] Interface Programmers guide: ----------------------------------------- This manual is written for _experienced C programmers_ who develop primary access methods, as follows: - Partners who integrate data that does not conform to the built-in primary access method for relational tables or an industry-standard gateway API - Engineers who support Informix customers, partners, and thirdparty developers Before you develop an access method, you should be familiar with creating user-defined routines and programming with the DataBlade API. Warning: This manual is specifically for customers and IBM Informix DataBlade partners developing alternative access methods for IBM Informix Dynamic Server. The interface described in this manual continues to be enhanced and modified. Customers and partners who use this interface should work with an support representative to ensure that they continue to receive the latest information and that they are prepared to change their access method. ----------------------------------------- So yes, The technology is there for I to use, but I _need to be a C|Programmer guru_ to define an access method for Sql-Server|Oracle... etc. Well, I'm not a J.Leffler nor an Art Kagel, nor even a Marco Greco, the technology is there [for federation] but not accesible to me. So: "Easy" federation is must for me in a new Informix version.
