And that's saying something. :o)

Gee Splinter, its no wonder you can't trust IBM when they speak:

Hopefully most of you read El Reg.

On a newly installed IDS 11.5 on RHEL 5.2 x86_64, I see the following
message in online.log every five minutes:
07:41:31  listener-thread: err = -25580: oserr = -1: errstr = : System
error occurred in network function.

   We are thinking to copy one of the chunks (which has database
system tables and other small tables ) using dd unix command in a
dbspace to a new raw device, break the existing link and relink the
new raw device with same path, because it is a big database and we

While Eric brings up an excellent point:

Its just numbers and its only a guess as to how the market breaks down.  But assuming that it is accurate...

Hi friends,
I am new person from Oracle. Does any developer tool for Informix SQL?
example  oracle  developer tool as  SQL developer, Oracel SQL,  TOAD.
It seems that informix is difficute to code SQL statement.

Hi Friends,
I am new person in informix. I need to copy a informix 10UC7 production db to
set a development in Linux system,
Could you told  procedures to do this job in detail.

select sum((select count(*) from srv zt, z where  zt.some_id = z.sid
             union select count(*) from srv_arc yt, z where
yt.some_id = zsid))
 from  systables where tabid=1

I have a RedHat6 Server with Informix installed. There are 3 Client
machines, that run a program, that uses the DB.
Now I tried to change one client with a newer Linux machine (OpenSuse). The
clients uses the program with Informix via NFS.

Ok,
So we see IDS now making the push on geodetic over geospatial. The
"round earth" is more accurate because it takes in consideration that
the earth really is elliptical in its calculations.

I am trying to load the data from a file into a table in a database by
using the below command.
isql metdb >> /tmp/TEMPDIR_REM/LOAD.LOG 2>&1 <<!
load from "/tmp/TEMPDIR_REM/$LOADTABLE.txt" insert into $LOADTABLE

Any one has comment on this?
SELECT SUM(col) from table
or
select col from table then calculate sum value in 4gl program.
