Informix-4GL Rapid
Development System Informix-4GL
C Compiler Version
One might suppose that the speed of execution looks like it outweighs the speed of
development. However, the INFORMIX-4GL Rapid Development System is
compatible with the Interactive Debugger, which could put it over the top for you.
The Best of Both Worlds
The choice is yours. The most efficient solution would be to have both
implementations running on your system. You can develop your application using
Informix-4GL RDS and then compile the finished product using Compiled
Informix-4GL. Remember the actual Informix-4GL code is the same in both
products.
