A 64-bit environment and the ability to address more than 4 GB of memory can greatly enhance the scalability and performance of databases. With IDS v10, IBM has optimized native 64-bit editions for all major Linux platforms. This article contains information on all the new features of Informix Dynamic Server Version 10.0 that are unique on Linux platforms.
Just an observation: Notice a difference between the article ‘summaries’ that Eugenia posts and those that folks like David Adams post? Eugenia’s are typically verbatim copy/paste jobs from the article text. Compare the above to what Dave wrote about the Win 2k3 sp1 article at the Reg.
One is professional journalism. The other not.
I hope someone gets to read this before my comment is deleted.
I read it…who cares.
I saw it here first doesnt mean I believe he wrote it.
Get laid before they delete my post.
Copy/paste is perfectly fine. This is not an OSNews article, its simply a link to another sites article. Might as well complain that movie trailers aren’t professional film making because they are just clips from the movie. It makes no sense.
Thanks for making my point for me. I hadn’t thought of the trailer analogy, but it’s a good one: Trailers are advertisements for films, and a copy/paste instead of a real article summary is not ‘news;’ it’s cheap pseudo-journalism, and in many cases it’s product shilling.
And before someone responds with “this is a hobby site, blah” remember that this place bills itself as “OS_News_” and professes to be an authority on the OS market.
Its not much of an article if i spend the $$ for a overpriced piece of IBM hardware maybe i want to exploit the power of AIX where is the comparison of Informix on different platforms so i can make and educated business decision rather then take linux propaganda at face value.
