Any good informix periodicals/magazines/online ezines?
A user asked whether there are Informix periodicals comparable to Oracle Magazine, SQL Server Magazine or DB2 Magazine, preferably online. Replies pointed to Informix's own publications: the free-subscription Informix Magazine (informix.com/informix/imagazine/) for general content, and the quarterly "Tech Notes" for technical material, available in print and online via the TechInfo Center, though online access was limited to certified professionals and customers on certain support plans. Posters joked that Tech Notes issues arrive very late. The original poster thanked them; no independent third-party magazine was identified.

Hi all, I was wondering if there are any periodicals out there for Informix like Oracle Magazine ( www.oramag.com ), SQL Server Magazine ( www.sqlmag.com ), and DB2 Magazine ( www.db2mag.com )? Preferably online, but paper is OK. Thanks Fuzzy :-)

Sure are: general Informix stuff ==> http://www.informix.com/informix/imagazine/ (free subscription) technical stuff ==> http://www.informix.com/informix/services/ilink/pubs/pubs.htm (this is "Tech Notes" -- VERY good technical stuff!!! -- access online is via TechInfo Center; registration for which is free *if*... TechInfo Center is a benefit available to Informix Certified Professionals, Assurance, OpenLine, Regency and Enterprise customers only. Or were you interested in something totally independent of the company???
