Return to Industrial Session: Object, Relations, and SQL-3

Abstract
This paper describes the current INFORMIX IDS/UD release (9.2 or Centaur) and compares and contrasts its functionality with the features of the SQL-99 language standard. The IDS/UD product supports most of the innovative features of the new standard, although at this time INFORMIX’s query language implements a slightly variant syntax. In addition, we review the experience of early technology adopters working with object-relational DBMSs (ORDBMS). We argue that their difficulties indicate that the SQL-99 language standard as it currently stands is going to be largely irrelevant, in that developers will not use it when implementing next-generation information systems, and DBMS vendors and their partners will need to go beyond it in their products.
