Informix Dynamic Server, Personal Edition

This product is the only version of IDS that will run on Windows 95. The regular version of IDS for NT requires an NTFS filesystem, which is not supported in Windows 95. IDS-PE was introduced as a beta test through the Informix International Users Group and was available for free downloading from their Web site:

The product was derived from IDS 7.22 on NT and has all of 7.22's features with the exception of:

  • ONPLOAD the parallel data loader and Parallel Data Query (PDQ)

  • ONBAR the online archive tool

  • XA the XA transaction manager support

  • Security Auditing feature

  • Multiprocessor support

  • Fragmentation

  • Continuous Data Replication (CDR)

  • Informix Optical optical disk support

  • Informix Storage Manager (ISM)

  • Mirroring

There are also significant changes to the security subsystem due to lack of operating system security in Windows 95.

IDS-PE is a viable alternative to Informix-SE for Windows 95 and Windows NT. Since it is derived from IDS 7.22, all of the utilities work against it in much the same manner as IDS. For a development or a demonstration system, IDS-PE is hard to beat.
