ANSI-compliant

A database that conforms to certain ANSI (American National Standards Institute) performance standards. Informix databases can be created either as ANSI-compliant or as not ANSI-compliant. An ANSI-compliant database enforces ANSI requirements such as implicit transactions, required owner-naming, and no buffered logging. The term MODE ANSI is sometimes used to refer to an ANSI-compliant database.
