I have deleted many rows in on table, but it seems that this has no
effect on the total used space by the database. So it will be in a
short time that the database is running out of free chunks in a short
time.

Sorry for my poor english. And yes, im newbie width informix.
I run this:
copy nul filechunck.000
onspaces -c -d namedbs -p c:\infxData\infxserver\filechunk.000 -o 0 -s

Has anyone heard of a release date for an ADO.Net 2.0 driver for IDS
(9.40 or 10)? I have seen it mentioned in roadmap presentations, but
never with a hard release date. I would certinaly like to get started

Hi Basim,
thanks for your fast answer.
I agree with you in gradually tuning the parameters though it's a bit
