Re: Batch language for Informix?

Perhaps I do not understand your message, or maybe I do :-) But for our batch processing, we use: 1. Unix shell scripts (awk,grep,sed, join and the rest) and dbaccess for simple stuff like adding records 2. ESQL and 4GL if the data is either too complex or would create long transactions using dbaccess Most of our batch transactions are either insert a record, or of the add/change/delete a record type.
