Looking into IBM Informix

As posted previously we’re researching a storage intensive relational database project at the office. I talked with the DB2 guys at IBM today and they asked me to look into Informix instead of DB2 since Informix has a BLOB (Binary Large OBject) support superior to DB2. In additional the fragment support for tables sounds like it’s something we could use to help “partition” the tables in date segments.

Anyone who has some “getting started” information for Informix? I figured the “dbaccess” command out but it would be nice with a tutorial or similar to get started.
