Chapter 1: Introducing Ingres for Linux


Welcome to Ingres®, the complete open source information management
solution! Ingres lets you develop and deploy robust, mission-critical
applications in a variety of environments.

This guide provides the information you need to get started quickly and
productively with Ingres for Linux.

Ingres Features

Ingres is a complete relational solution, providing the following features:
  •   A robust, high-performance relational database management system (RDBMS) on which you can build the best in mission-critical applications.
  •   Support for the latest technology, such as multiple processors and 64-bit architecture, and standards such as XML and Unicode. The extensive list of supported platforms includes Linux for zSeries and S/390, UNIX, and Windows.
  •   Easy to manage environment that requires far less maintenance than the competition. Ingres is hard to beat in the area of long-term cost of ownership.
  •   The Ingres Management Architecture (IMA) tools provide the framework that allows you to create system management applications using standard SQL tools and access multiple installations across Ingres Net.
  •   Ingres Web Deployment Option provides users with a secure and reliable foundation for Internet-based electronic commerce. Applications developed with Ingres Web Deployment Option can be used to provide full read/write access to enterprise-wide corporate data. Database-driven web sites provide much greater flexibility and can reflect changes in dynamic content as they happen.
  Open connectivity lets you integrate the entire enterprise—from PCs to mainframes. Ingres Net, coupled with the Ingres ODBC and JDBC drivers, let you take advantage of the technologies that drive the business environment.

Through ODBC, Ingres allows transparent access to enterprise data repositories. Applications developed through ODBC are independent of hardware, networking protocols, and operating systems. The Ingres ODBC driver uses the native API (application programming interface), effectively making ODBC a native language for Ingres.
