Plan to buy a book on informix sql
vchu asked for a book on Informix SQL programming covering cursors and stored procedures. Ian Michael Gumby pointed to the free online IBM documentation, and Gerardo Santana gave the Information Center link for v11.1. Ian joked the IBM site is hard to navigate; Fernando Nunes replied that the library and manuals are easy to find, including a bookstore link.

Plan to buy a book on informix sql programming so that i can learn not just the synatx, but the cursor, store procedure.... etc any suggestion. -- Message posted via DBMonster.com http://www.dbmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/informix/200803/1
Why buy when you can go online and get the information for free? If you register with IBM, I believe you have access to the online documentation that comes with IDS. It should contain a .pdf manual of SQL and then other manuals on the other features. > From: u42118@uwe.iiug.org > Subject: Plan to buy a book on informix sql > Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:33:07 +0000 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > Plan to buy a book on informix sql programming > > so that i can learn not just the synatx, but the cursor, store procedure.... > etc > > any suggestion. > > -- > Message posted via DBMonster.com > http://www.dbmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/informix/200803/1 > > _______________________________________________ > Informix-list mailing list > Informix-list@iiug.org > http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _________________________________________________________________ Watch “Cause Effect,” a show about real people making a real difference.

Just to enrich Ian's post, here's the link the the documentation: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v111/
LOL. Thanks for the link. I recommend that everyone copy that link to your bookmarks. Just try and find the books on the IBM website when you need them. No, not a dig against IM, but IGS since they're the ones who control the IBM website. At least so I'm told.... ;-) -G > From: gerardo.santana@gmail.com > Subject: Re: Plan to buy a book on informix sql > Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 10:44:25 -0700 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > Just to enrich Ian's post, here's the link the the documentation: > > http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v111/ > _______________________________________________ > Informix-list mailing list > Informix-list@iiug.org > http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _________________________________________________________________ How well do you know your celebrity gossip? http://originals.msn.com/thebigdebate?ocid=T002MSN03N0707A

Let's see: Product: informix Company: IBM Let's try http://www.ibm.com/informix ... works... what do we see...? A left menu... What's on top? "library"... nice... let's try it... Wow!!!! A lot of links to all kinds of documentation including a "Manuals Online" with a bold sentence "at no charge"... It even has a link to "Bookstore".... Difficult? The Web site has a lot of dark secrets, but the Informix Documentation is not one of them... :) Regards -- Fernando Nunes Portugal http://informix-technology.blogspot.com My email works... but I don't check it frequently...
