Re: I-STAR spawns child problem

Mike, As you, we were about to go with 5.02UC6 and we're advised by our local Informix support to rather go & order 5.03UC1. There are a number of problems with 5.02UC6 (some of which are limited to the HP platform). 1) a memory leak (bug #24778) - applies to all platforms 2) very serious problem with group by clause ( bug #31683) - only HP 1) sqlturbo grows on queries containing smallint='char' in where clause. dbload on large db tends to core dumps. loading tables using 'load' tends to result in core dumps. 2) Depending on the way your application is coded..but basically the statement "select col1, col2 from t1 group by col1, col2" won't return the correct set. Ask your local informix rep..they should let you know more details (ours did - thnx guys). Hope this averts any pending disaster.
