IBM Informix Non-Spatial (JDBC) Reader/Writer

FME can read and write attribute data held in IBM Informix database tables.

For information about the IBM Informix JDBC driver, please see Product and System Requirements below.

Installing the JDBC Driver

To view instructions for installing the JDBC driver, please see Getting Started with JDBC.

IBM Informix Non-Spatial Product and System Requirements

Note  FME provides read and write access via IBM's Informix JDBC driver, which is not bundled with FME. For information about downloading the driver, see Download Informix Products on the IBM Support web page. Please note that the IBM Informix Non-Spatial (JDBC) format requires Informix JDBC driver version 4.10.JC4DE or newer.

Usage Notes

The performance of this format is dependent on the amount of memory allocated to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The following environment variables allow you to specify memory available to Java Plugins:

FME_JVM_MIN_HEAP_SIZE

Initial heap size for initializing the JVM. If unset, the default value is 1024K.

This variable must be set in multiples of 1024 and greater than 1 MB. To indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, append k or K, m or M, or g or G, respectively. For example, any of these values is acceptable:

6291456

6144k

6m

FME_JVM_MAX_HEAP_SIZE

Maximum heap size for initializing the JVM. If unset, the default value is 16384K.

This variable must be set in multiples of 1024 and greater than 2 MB. To indicate kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, append k or K, m or M, or g or G, respectively. For example, any of these values is acceptable:

83886080

81920k

80m

Tip  To pass additional parameters used by FME to the Java Virtual Machine, use the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS environment variable.
Memory Usage (applicable to writers only): Changing the value in the writer parameter Features Per Transaction can control the number of features that FME places in each transaction before a transaction is committed to the database.
