After the latest Informix workaround Informix 14.10xC10W2 which has been released already in spring, very recently the new Release xC11 came out. Mainly it is a very extensive Bug Fix. For that reason alone Informix users should install it in a timely manner.

But besides this the new Informix version offers two interesting new features in the fields of monitoring & perfromance.

Monitoring: new history settings options are added to manage query history and to allow user to set duration for maintaining the query history within the permissible range

Performance: Informix Server Workgroup Edition now supports FRAGMENT BY EXPRESSION partial index. Partial Index enables users to index only a subset of rows of a given table. By allowing to suppress indexing of certain values, indexes are kept small and efficient.
