I'm planning to install the following konfiguration: Yes, we have a couple of sites using this set-up with no major problems as yet. >Client : UNIX; ISQL 4.1; I4GL 4.1; INFNET >Server: UNIX; ONLINE 5.0 You would need Online 5.0 and Informix-Star on the server - >I've heard of some dubious problems with 5.0; does anyone know more >??? There have been 'a couple' of problems reported on 5.0, one of which is a bug in the way 'outer joins' are processed - you could ask Informix for a bug list to check if the known bugs will affect you. PS : Does any-one out there know when 5.01 (HP-UX platform) is arriving ? Cheers, Richard Ridley
