About this series

Thinking about seeking certification on Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) fundamentals (Exam 555)? If so, you've landed in the right spot. This complimentary series of nine IDS certification preparation tutorials covers all the basics -- the topics you'll need to understand before you read the first exam question. Even if you're not planning to seek certification right away, this set of tutorials is a great place to start learning what's new in IDS 11.50.

This certification exam will test your knowledge of entry level administration of IDS 11.50, including basic SQL (Structured Query Language), how IDS 11.50 is installed, how to create databases and database objects, security, transaction isolation, backup and recovery procedures, and data replication technologies and purposes.

These tutorials provide a solid base for each section of the exam. However, you should not rely on these tutorials as your only preparation for the exam.
