We are buying new production servers. We are coming off our current
hardware platform and trying to decide between SUN and IBM servers.
The particular server candidates are SUN E6900 16 way dual core versus

am trying to import data from an Informix database every midnight. Eac
import will take in ~2million records from a table and i have like
DTS package to import data from 3 different tables every night.
As the Informix database server is a in-production server, I wan

I am told by my coworkers that Informix does not allow one to create
permanent tables on the fly by using code as in my subject, only in to
temp tables.  The only way to put data in to permanent tables is to
create a table first, and then INSERT INTO.

Hi, all.
Situation:

Can someone provide me with some instruction on how to rebuild informix

I am new to informix (IDS 9.40) and I was asked to alter a table.
I tried it from Server Studio JE but I got the following error:
ISAM error: non-exclusive access.
I waited until everybody was off from accessing the database in the evening

I'm trying to compile a c-based routine against a IBM Informix Dynamic
Server Version 9.40.FC5
I'm trying to compile the route with
gcc -Wall -shared -DMISERVBUILD -fPIC -I$INFORMIXDIR/incl/public -I$INFORMIXDIR/incl/esql

As I've indicated to Art, I've tried with no success to compile
utils2_ak or components thereof on our system; we're HP-UX11i, c4gl not
esql, and non-GNU. These are non-changeable variables; a corporate
matter I have no control over.
