Thanks! :>******************** :>Ed Puskas :>epusk@dillon.com :> : There is an article in the Informix TechNotes I would talk to : Informix and see if you can get a copy. (I've look all around my room : but can't find my copy! Everytime I try to find something I can find : everything EXCEPT what I look for - nothing changes!). Check out: http://www.informix.com/informix/services/ilink/pubs/technote/tn95v5i3/chap6..htm for the solid state disk article and http://www.informix.com/informix/services/ilink/pubs/technote/tn96v6i1/chap6..htm for an article on "solid state cache" as an alternative. You have to have access to the Tech Info Center to see these. If you don't you get it for free if you have the appropriate support agreament with Informix. Just call up your local Informix office and request a username/password.
