SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
INFORMIX-4GL for Solaris x86
Informix(R) Software Inc., a leader in database software
technology, now offers its INFORMIX-4GL
product family on SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment.
INFORMIX-4GL is a comprehensive fourth-generation application
development and production environment that allows programmers to
produce powerful database applications, easily portable to
multiple platforms, without rewriting and without need for third-
generation languages such as C or COBOL.
INFORMIX-4GL provides a full range of development tools in three
modules integrated under a consistent user interface. The Rapid
Development System improves programmer productivity by optimizing
code to reduce compile times. The Interactive Debugger allows the
programmer to debug running programs, by viewing and changing the
content of variables and analyzing program execution step-by-step.
The Compiler maximizes application performance by compiling source
4GL code into C code, and then into machine code to take full
advantage of hardware speed.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX(R) operating
environment for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a
foundation for enterprise computing, it supports major industry
standards and provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking,
multithreading and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is
compatible with Solaris SPARC(R), ensuring full interoperability
between the leading CISC (x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And
Solaris x86 is scalable from desktops to supercomputers, so that
customers can configure heterogeneous enterprise networks and
expand them easily as their computing needs evolve.
Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS
applications, run on the Solaris x86 environment.
A Portable Development Combination
Programmers using INFORMIX-4GL on Solaris x86 can create portable
applications without being concerned with different operating
system requirements for setup, installation, and non-Informix-
related system requirements. INFORMIX-4GL applications can run on
low-end environments like DOS and Windows, as well as on the more
robust Solaris multitasking and multithreading environment
designed to support enterprise solutions.
INFORMIX-4GL Features and Benefits
* Multi-platform development: develop one
set of 4GL source code for both character-based and graphical
environments; programmers can support a variety of desktop
environments (DOS, Windows, OSF/Motif(R) and character-based
terminals) without extra work
* Faster development: INFORMIX-4GL
increases productivity up to ten times over developing in third-
generation languages such as C or COBOL
* Easier debugging and maintenance:
programmers can interactively manipulate programs at runtime for
more efficient debugging; maintenance is enhanced because bugs
can be more easily identified and programs more easily analyzed
* High-speed compiles: the Rapid
Development System builds applications into pseudo-code, which
the Compiler turns into a C-based executable object for fastest
runtime performance
* Seamless migration: applications
developed under INFORMIX-4GL will integrate easily as Informix
introduces object-oriented capabilities in the 4GL environment
