Service and Support for Informix Administrators Active support by CURSOR for your Informix database systems Through system-oriented tool development and more than twenty years of support experience (second level), our employees have very deep technological knowledge of Informix. The result of this work is many years of direct contact with Informix developers, support staff and product managers - worldwide. The development of the Admin-Scout, our software tool for administration, monitoring and tuning of Informix, is the basement of the high performance standard we offer our customers. From a visit by an IT manager with high-performance, business-critical OLTP systems and 24x7 support by CURSOR: „On the way to CURSOR we asked ourselves why this meeting is necessary today - we have no Informix problems at all." „Thank you - that's exactly our job“

Informix Feature Requests

Requests For Enhancements

Here ist the place to post you suggestions to improve and develop Informix.
Vote to support the realisation of particular features.
Let yourself be informed via e-mail about the the progress of recent requests.

Both critisism and suggestions of users and customers are valuable feebacks to improve solutions.The IBM has implemented a websitesite within the DeveloperWorks to encourage this dialogue with users, administrators and developers.

Requests for Enhancements (RFE) stands for the reception of improvement suggestions. The RFE is available for most of the IBM's software products. Here you can adress your requests directly, respectively observe the already existing requests.

The positioning of a request is easy. Within a form the product's information and suggestions will be recorded. After a check and the release by an IBM worker, visitors of the site can have a direct influence on the importance of a request. This is done through a vote function with which you can vote for a particular request. The number of votes influences the order of execution. (For this feature a simple IBM User registration is necessary.)

The RFE website is an important facility for the Informix Community to have a direct influence on the improvement and development of Informix. Use this opportunity!
