I need to lock a ROW in an Informix table and hold onto that lock until
the end of a transaction.  During this transaction, 2 seperate Java
processes MIGHT start and want to update a table held in that
transaction before it is released.  Is there any way to accomplish

I downloaded the Linux package, IIUG-IDS-9-4-UC2-linux.zip to install
on Fedora core. I had no trouble setting the environment, or using cpio
or installing the server, using installserver or running the
RUN_AS_ROOT.server piece. I received no errors and was returned to the

Hi,

Hi Friends,
I found a new VOIP forum, where there is a good syndication of VOIP
technical white papers. It is really worth checking out -

--Concider the following situation:
--An application is trying to analyze bank's balance
--during the operational day - that is, some records

pretty stupid question but I can't find an answer yet : how to provide
user name and password if I want to use dbaccess ?
So far I tried dbaccess - - <<!

thanks for any tips!!

This is definitely only a one "Ho!" Christmas, but all the same: Bah! Humbug!
