Hi,

I'm new to Informix Database. Basically I'm Oracle DBA and certified in the same.

My current job is in Informix. So please provide me the complete steps for creating Informix Dynamic Server database and how to use the data dictionary

Now that you've really impressed us with your certified Oracle status why don't you try opening up the DB Administration manual and impressing us with how well you can read.

You can also check the Informix developer zone.

There is an article how to easily create an Informix Instance...

There is also a link towards Informix Certification...

I'm sorry to say that I don't have any reference material related to Informix. I went through some of the documents on net but still not clear with the implementation part of it.

That's the reasone I've lauched a thread over dbforums.

Atleast give me list of books for Informix database administration.

Go to http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/i.../pubs/library/
and you´ll find all the documentation about IDS.

Byee!!
