In the following table, the manuals mentioned in the DataBlade Module Development Overview are listed alphabetically by title, with a brief description of each.
| Manual Title | Description |
|---|---|
| IBM Informix: J/Foundation Developer's Guide | Describes how Java is implemented in the Informix database server. Describes a library of classes and interfaces that allow programmers to create and execute Java user-defined routines that access Informix database servers. |
| IBM Informix: DataBlade API Programmer's Guide
IBM Informix: DataBlade API Function Reference |
Provide a complete reference for the DataBlade API, which is used to develop applications that interact with your Informix database server. |
| IBM Informix: DataBlade Developer's Kit User's Guide | Describes how to develop and package DataBlade modules using the DataBlade Developers Kit. |
| IBM Informix: DataBlade Module Installation and Registration Guide | Explains how to install DataBlade modules and use BladeManager to register, upgrade, and unregister DataBlade modules in Informix databases. |
| IBM Informix: User-Defined Routines and Data Types Developer's Guide | Explains how to extend existing data types, define
new data types, and define your own functions and procedures for
an Informix database.
Describes the tasks you must perform to extend operations on data types, to create new casts, to extend operator classes for secondary access methods, and to write opaque data types. Defines common considerations for SPL and external routines and describes how to create user-defined aggregates. |
| IBM Informix: R-Tree Index User's Guide | Describes the IBM Informix R-tree secondary access method and how use its components. It describes how to create an R-tree index on appropriate data types and how to create a new operator class that uses the R-tree access method to index a user-defined data type. |
| IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Getting Started Guide | Provides an overview of the architecture of your Informix database server, introduces the major features of the server, introduces the server kits, and provides information to help you use the documentation that is included with each kit. |
| IBM Informix: GLS Programmer's Manual | Describes IBM Informix GLS, an application programming interface available in IBM Informix products. IBM Informix GLS provides ESQL/C and DataBlade module developers the ability to write programs (or change existing programs) to handle different languages, cultural conventions, and code sets. |
| IBM Informix: GLS User's Guide | Describes the Global Language Support (GLS) feature available in IBM Informix products. The GLS feature allows IBM Informix APIs and Informix database servers to handle different languages, cultural conventions, and code sets. This manual describes only the language-related topics that are unique to GLS. |
| IBM InformixCLI Programmer's Manual | Explains how to use the IBM Informix CLI application programming interface to gain access to Informix databases, manipulate the data in your program, interact with the database server, and check for errors. |
| IBM Informix: ESQL/C Programmer's Manual | Explains how to use IBM Informix ESQL/C to create client applications with database management capabilities. This manual is a complete guide to the features of ESQL/C that allow you to gain access to Informix databases, manipulate the data in your program, interact with the database server, and check for errors. |
| IBM Informix: Guide to SQL Reference | Describes the Informix system catalog tables, common environment variables that you might need to set, and the built-in data types that your Informix database server supports. |
| IBM Informix: Guide to SQL Syntax | This manual contains syntax descriptions for the Structured Query Language (SQL) and Stored Procedure Language (SPL) statements that your Informix database server supports. |
| IBM Informix: Guide to SQL Tutorial | Includes instructions for using basic and advanced Structured Query Language (SQL), as well as for designing and managing your database. |
| IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Administrator's Guide | Describes how to install, configure, and use the features of your Informix database server. |
| IBM Informix: Dynamic Server Performance Guide | Explains how to configure and operate your database server to improve overall system performance as well as the performance of SQL queries. |
| IBM Informix: JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide | Describes the JDBC driver that implements the Java interfaces and classes that programmers use to connect to an Informix database server. |
