Extend Informix (ESQL/4gl) programs with DB2 connection

Suppose a set of programs written in ESQL (C or Cobol) or 4GL,
accessing an Informix database.

Suppose the Informix' customer owning the souces is willing to see how
DB2 could help him, so a DB2 install alongside the Informix
environment is looked at.

Questions:

- will IBM have an universal precompiler allowing to precompile
against Informix -existing programs- and DB2, together in one program,
allowing to extend the Informix' connection and SQQL with DB2 access

- for ESQL (C or Cobol ) programs

- for 4GL programs (as 4GL connectivity to DB2 was spoken
about by IBM)

- what about the needed "one transaction control" in this context

I want to display a MySQL database field that can contain HTML markup. If I use <esql:get-string> then I get all of the database field, but all tags are escaped which is not what I want. If I use <esql:get-xml> the tags are not escaped, but only the first part of the database field is displayed. The content of the database field is: "<h1>Title</h1><h2>Subtitle</h2>"

The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
