Include Tables from Files into Database

Hi, I've got the follwing problem: From a customer Informix installation I got the follwing database files, which represent the table 'wsart' (at least I think they do). -rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 299748 May 27 10:14 wsart00310.dat -rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 92500 May 27 10:14 wsart00310.idx -rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 0 May 27 10:14 wsart00668.dat -rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 3072 May 27 10:14 wsart00668.idx -rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 1173544 May 27 10:14 wsart00725.dat -rw-rw---- 1 informix informix 54547 May 27 10:14 wsart00725.idx No I need to integrate these files into my test database. With databases like MySQL I can simply copy the files into the database directory and the tables are available but obviously it's not that easy with Informix :-) So anyone got an idea how I can access these tables? Thanks Christian Ciao Christian
