Informix Illustra Server 2.3

Informix Illustra offers the first Object-Relational Database Management System, marrying the best features of object and relational database management systems. When the Informix Illustra Database is combined with the DataBlade module for your data--a plug-in module that gives your database expertise for a specific datatype--the combination becomes the first DBMS that is "content aware" for multimedia and complex datatypes. The expertise for managing data is in the database manager, allowing the application to focus on the solution instead of dealing with the complexity of multimedia data.

Combined with an advanced Rule System that centrally controls access to the database, the result is a new generation of database management technology uniquely suited to the task of managing media assets.
