​We need to concentrate on how each of these is important to IoT concerns.
  1. Connection Security. This includes User Authentication and Encrypted communication methods.
  2. Data Security. Encryption at rest and other ways to encrypt data, e.g. CLE.
  3. Transaction Security. Backup and Restore. Auditing to determine who did what and when.

SQL databases have supported the LIKE operator for a very long time and it will allow you to compare a string to a pattern and has wildcard characters to match any single character or zero or more characters.  HCL Informix also supports the MATCHES operator that give you some more wildcard matching options.  Similar to the LIKE predicate, MATCHES has support for wildcard characters to match any single character or zero or more characters.  It also has the ability to match single character from a set or range of characters or match a single character that is not in a set or range of characters.  These are both examples of simple regular expressions.

Databases are historically a great place to store data and retrieve data. However, they are not always the easiest to process events and receive alerts from, especially in real time or near real time. You can use a specialized software for this, but what if you wanted the best of both worlds? An enterprise level database for storage and security, but with the ability to process events and alerts as they happen.

I was looking through my archives recently, and found an old project plan from some years ago. Hard to believe now, but back then, we planned to release the product 10 months after ‘code freeze’. Think about it -- code we implemented for our clients sat on the shelf for 10 long months AFTER it was written!

We discussed some of this at the recent 2017 IIUG conference.  Many of the gathered HCL Informix DBAs were not familiar with syslicenseinfo, and so hopefully this will be of general interest. My former colleague and mentor, John Miller, was instrumental in designing syslicenseinfo and was happy to provide some pointers on how to interpret the data.  I’m happy to pass it on…
