Abstract

The S-PLUS DataBlade module for the INFORMIX-Universal Server combines the strength of a powerful and extensible object-relational database management system with the powerful data analysis, modeling, and visualization capabilities of the object-oriented S-PLUS perform S-PLUS data analysis on data stored INFORMIX-Universal Server using SQL, the industry-standard query language. The S-PLUS DataBlade module allows S-PLUS expressions and commands to be embedded within SQL expressions, and to conveniently pass data between INFORMIX-Universal Server and S-PLUS. This paper describes the architecture and the capabilities of the S-PLUS DataBlade.
