What started out as a not very interesting argument on the merits of row vs page locking (not v interesting because the same discussion comes round every few months and those for/against never make any attempt to see the opposing view) has degenerated into a puerile "I'm better than you" slanging match. I joined cdi to a) learn stuff about Informix that I didn't know and b) return the favour where possible - *not* to get this sort of stuff constantly.
