Re: I-Star, load restrictions

---- original message from George Vicherek ---- ++ ++ Hi, ++ ++ in the present scenario, we have an SCO Unix box (Compaq Proliant) ++ running an Informix On-Line 5.01. The application is semi-real-time ++ control system for a industrial app. ++ ++ Now, there is a requirement to access the real-time database from ++ another system (Informix on HP-UX) to get data for accounting system. ++ Nice to have would be also access from MS-Windows using ViewPoint ++ or ODBC. ++ ++ The main worry is possibility of bogging down the real-time system ++ with too many or too complex querries from the other systems. ++ ++ Is there a way to control load of the Informix engine in distributed ++ database (or client-server) environment? 7.1 has this feature. It allows you to control the number and other parameters of a "DSS" (Decision Support System) query. I don't belive there is a way to do it under 5.X. ++ ++ What kind of hurdles/difficulties should I expect when implementing ++ distributed querries from the HP-UX accounting app? ++ ++ Thanx, ++ ++ George Vicherek ++ mc3746@mclink.it ++ ++ Please answer by mail, if possible. Thanks. ++ -- Jerry M. Denman -- Director of Special Projects Sherwood Systems (a division of Sherwood Mfg Co.
