Informix Solano, the feature almost no one knows about

Submitted by mjamison on February 21, 2011 - 18:02

 

 So I've been working with some embed ability features, and was reminded of a feature that I think is very cool, but so far not used very much. It's called solara, and Guy talked about it some when he had this blog.

What to encrypt

Submitted by mjamison on February 21, 2011 - 17:35

 So the next question we have , now we know why we encrypt, is what to encrypt.

Ultimately we have only two areas to encrypt. The first area is encrypting our network connection, and the data that goes against them. The second is encrypting the actual data when it is "at rest", which is an industry term indicating encrypting the data where it had permanent or near permanent storage.

RSS_FLOW_CONTROL - Current Restriction (Max 2 gig)

Submitted by jfilippi on February 18, 2011 - 19:30
 If anyone is looking to use RSS_FLOW_CONTROL (in 11.50FC8 and 11.70) there is currently one restriction that I uncovered that has been entered as a defect.
 
When you set the values for RSS_FLOW_CONTROL currently the values have to be under 2 gig due to a limitation in the way it was implemented. 
I came across the issue when I tried to set RSS_FLOW_CONTROL to "40G,1M", it actually internally had turned off RSS_FLOW_CONTROL because of how it interpreted it.
 
So be aware when setting RSS_FLOW_CONTROL.
