Primary Access Methods

The primary access method handles storage and retrieval of a particular data type in a table. If the primary access method does not handle a particular data type, the database server cannot access values of that type. Dynamic Server provides all of the necessary routines for accessing the built-in data types.

For information on how to use primary access methods, see the IBM Informix Guide to SQL: Syntax and IBM Informix User-Defined Routines and Data Types Developer's Guide.
