 Not worth the $44.00.Oct 28, 1998
The chapters of this book are somewhat informative if you are new to Informix. HOWEVER the price of this book should be more like $15.00 since it only contains about 150 pages.

 Outline only, shallow depth, no detail.Jul 01, 1999
This book shows how to make, load, save and run the simplest of stored procedures. It does not give good reference to the Stored Procedure Language, program control statements, cursors in stored procedures, and statements that will not work in stored procedures that do work in ISQL/4GL. The book is also lacking in real-world examples.

Introductory text - too shortAug 04, 1997
The latter half of the book is a copy of
the SPL syntax from the Informix documentation.
If you don't have access to a copy of the
Syntax Documentation Volume 2 from Informix,
this can be very useful data. However this
only leaves about 90 pages of text to the book,
probably not worth the $41 price.
Overall I found the book to be fairly
basic. There were no outright errors that I
noted in the book, but it did not have the depth
of discussion I was expecting. This is
especially true if you compare it with books
in similiar subject matter like O'Reilly's
"Oracle PL/SQL Programming."
