RE: 9.40 buggy!
Posted in 2003
The only serious problem I had with 9.40 was with the High Performance Loader When I tried to load smth like 50 mln records from about 15 files, HPL simply stopped after loading about 20 mln records without any diagnostics. I've tried several times with the same result. Note, that in that case only HPL stopped, the engine continued running without any problem ------------------------------------------ Alexey Sonkin Senior Database Administrator > -----Original Message----- > From: John Carlson [mailto:john_carlson@whsmithusa.com] > Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 2:52 PM > To: informix-list@iiug.org > Subject: Re: 9.40 buggy! > > On Wed, 19 Nov 2003 17:18:11 +0000, Fernando Nunes > <spam@domus.online.pt> wrote: > > >Rich Campbell wrote: > > > >> Folks, > >> > >> We have experienced many problems while testing 9.40 for a mission > critical > >> application.
