Why buy when you can go online and get the information for free?

If you register with IBM, I believe you have access to the online documentation that comes with IDS.
It should contain a .pdf manual of SQL and then other manuals on the other features.

LOL.
Thanks for the link.

I recommend that everyone copy that link to your bookmarks.

Just try and find the books on the IBM website when you need them.
No, not a dig against IM, but IGS since they're the ones who control the IBM website.
At least so I'm told.... ;-)

You make very interesting comments on this newsgroup, but I must say this one
is not one of them... Let's see:

Product: informix
Company: IBM

Let's try http://www.ibm.com/informix

... works... what do we see...? A left menu... What's on top?
"library"... nice... let's try it... Wow!!!! A lot of links to all kinds of
documentation including a "Manuals Online" with a bold sentence "at no
charge"... It even has a link to "Bookstore".... Difficult?

The Web site has a lot of dark secrets, but the Informix Documentation is not
one of them... :)
