Alternatively, does anybody has any info of bug : fixes that accompany 5.01/5.02? : Would appreciate any feedback B^) There was an ugly bug in 5.00: if you open HOLD SCROLL cursor and then do ROLLBACK, database crashed after some time. You had to use backup copy. It also gave messages about non-existing TEMP file ???!!! It was fixed in 5.01 On SCO UNIX there is a bug, both in 5.00 and 5.01 till UD2 making I-STAR unusable. Everything works, but is SSSLLLOOOWWW. They fixed it in 5.01.UD3. I know some big bugs, still not fixed: - Errors when you table has more than 8 extents (try use WHERE FIELD > int !) - Wrong entries in SYSTABLES, making dbexport unusable and so on, and so on. It's a shame that Informix people don't make their bug database public. Michal Hobot doctorq@sam.nask.com.pl
