IBM Informix Dynamic Server V10.0
delivers a powerful, robust, easy
to administer enterprise database
for on demand business
Availability Date: February 25, 2005
Announcement Date: February 22, 2005
Announcement No: ZP05-0118
Product Number: 5724-L23
Overview
IBM Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) V10.0 offers outstanding online
transaction processing (OLTP) database performance while helping customers
simplify and automate many of the tasks associated with deploying
enterprise databases. IDS V10.0 contains features that speed application
development, increase performance, improve data security, make replication
more robust, and further ease the burden of database administration.
Organizations can now free up skilled database administrator (DBA)
resources and leverage their existing investment to focus on
next-generation enterprise applications.
Highlights of IDS V10.0 include:
A continued focus on improving quality and query performance.
Enhancements include better memory allocation, configurable page
sizes and being able to store and apply external optimizer
directives.
Availability and reliability enhancements include being able to
create and drop indexes online without locking tables and point in
time table level restore capability. For Enterprise Replication
users, multi-node online seamless re-synch is now possible. For DBAs
the new true single user mode will make administration of the
database server much simpler than ever before. There have also been
significant improvements in recovery time for fuzzy checkpoint users.
Column level encryption will allow users to insert or update
encrypted column level data in the database as well as query
encrypted column level data WITHOUT application changes in order to
help meet government regulatory data security requirements.
Administrative enhancements including a more automated and intuitive
installation process and the ability to rename dbspaces. Enterprise
Replication administration and set-up has been made much easier with
the addition of replication templates and being able to alter
replicated tables.
To improve programmer productivity and provide choice of programming
environments, IDS V10.0 provides deep support of both Java/Eclipse
and Microsoft .NET IDEs. These include the new IBM Rational
Development tools, JDBC 3.0 specification support and Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET.
IDS's Linux leadership is maintained by exploitation of the Linux 2.6
kernel and the new I/O and memory management features found in this
release.
Upgrading to IDS V10.0 from IDS V9.x or IDS V7.x continues to be a
highly automated, simple process.
IDS V10.0 packaging and licensing changes include:
High Availability Data Replication (HDR) now offered as a separate
chargeable option for IDS Workgroup Edition customers (IDS V10.0
only).
IDS Workgroup Edition can now be run on machines with up to four CPUs
(IDS V10.0 only).
Customers with a valid IDS V9.x maintenance contract can upgrade to
IDS V10.0 for no charge. Special trade-up pricing is available for
IDS V7.x customers who are current on maintenance.
IBM is targeting mid-2005 for availability of IDS V10.0 Express Edition
(IDS Express). IDS Express is designed to provide the performance,
reliability, and ease of management that small and medium-sized businesses
require at the right price, and provide application development flexibility
and support in working with Business Partner applications. IDS Express is
currently planned to be available on both Linux and Microsoft Windows
platforms.
Key Prerequisites
Refer to Hardware requirements and Software requirements sections.
At a Glance
IDS V10.0 focuses on OLTP excellence, ease of administration, and continued
investment leveraging capabilities. Support of the latest industry
standards, and integration with the latest development environments and
middleware technology, allows robust on demand application development.
Increased programmer productivity through support of Microsoft .NET,
JDBC 3.0, and IBM Rational development tools
Robust infrastructure that includes query performance improvements
and column-level encryption
Packaging and licensing enhancements
