About the Book

Object-relational databases offer immense power -- but many database professionals have failed to use it, because doing so required them to write their own DataBlade extensions. This book presents a breakthrough solution: bladelets. Created by a team of Informix' leading DataBlade experts, bladelets serve as building blocks, bringing Informix Dynamic Server 9.x ORDBMS power to bear on a wide range of business problems, while requiring far less original programming. The book covers ten bladelets in detail, with open source code for all of them provided on CD-ROM. These bladelets will help developers solve hierarchical problems; extend SQL to support temporal data management; access external files through SQL, use SQL as a data type, overcome database portability problems, work with vtables, streamline text manipulation, and address many other common challenges. Whether you use them "as is," or as the model for your own DataBlades, these bladelets can dramatically improve the performance, value, and time-to-market of your very next database application.
