This morning I went to Cologne - the city that is well known for it's famous carnival as well as the historic cathedral - and attended the IDS V11 Certification Test at an authorized Prometric test center.

Cheetah - DIRECT_IO

Cheetah - DIRECT_IO

Informix fellow Fernande Nunes from Portugal published the next Cheetah article about the new DIRECT_IO configuration parameter.

Cheetah spot by spot: DIRECT_IO

DIRECT_IO might be an interesting alternative to the usage of raw devices for certain types of IDS installations. However based on my experience I would still prefer raw devices as they give you a strict isolation from data stored in the filesystems and also KAIO is always supported, not dependent on the filesystem type or page size.
