Upgrade of secondary server without restore from primary

Assuming we're upgrading a sever which is a primary server in a MACH-11 cluster, it should be able to save all the new page images (of changed pages during the conversion) in the file system. Very similar to what we do in the CONVERSION_GUARD feat...

Improve readahead performance statistic reporting

Since the improved readahead code was established, onstat -p and the associated SMI tables no longer report all readahead pages nor all usage of those pages so that it is impossible to monitor the efficiency of readahead and so be able to determin...

Make adoption of forest-of-trees indices easier with existing large tables

Rebuilding an index as a FOT is not supported using "alter fragment on index init". This would be useful to avoid dropping and later re-adding primary keys and referencing foreign keys. Building a FOT index is not possible in parallel. Building a ...

More efficient unique indexes for monotonically increasing keys and constraints

Currently an index on a SERIAL and other monotonically increasing keys only add to the last node in the index causing the node to split into two half filled nodes. Eventually a sufficient number of nodes have so split that the index's search effic...

Add function LISTAGG like DB2 and Oracle

Every query which need to group by and concat few columns is impossible with informix. For example for this SQL : select t.tabname, c.constrname ,k.checktext, k.seqno from sysconstraints c, systables t , outer syschecks k where t.tabname = 'my...

MSG_DATE format should follow $DBDATE if defined

Several customers would like the format of the date written to online.log when we have the MSG_DATE parameter defined/activated to follow the format of DBDATE.Currently it seems to follow the American standard (MONTH / DAY / YEAR2).

Require NODEFDAC as a server side general setup

This is a follow up on RFE 34407.The original request was classified as "Delivered" but I'd say that veridict totally misses the point. The answer provided states that we can use informix.rc file to set the variable. That's true for UNIX. But in t...
