Informix Ultimate Edition (UWE)/Growth Edition (GWE) were the starting point of a new era of Data Warehousing. Due to the IWA tool broad data analysis can be executed within seconds – calculable, reliable and full automatically. UWE & IWA are definitely a must for companies which need to analyze huge amounts of data in a time and cost efficient way. But lately there is an even better way to optimize your data:

From Informix Ultimate Warehouse Edition 11.70 FC3 (Linux x86 64-bit, AIX 64-bit, Solaris Sparc 64-bit und HP IA 64-bit) on, you can use the new implemented “SmartMart” Feature for speeding up analyzing processes.

Using a script it is possible to analyze user defined sql statements and to generate a definition of a data mart in order to accelerate the requests.

If you are using a well configured Informix database, benefiting from the performance and memory optimizing data compression you are well positioned.
