It's nothing like Oracle for example, nor does it compete in any form or fashion with something as dull and boring as a database. Sorry, just needed to let off some steam. Informix is a database, a very good one at that. There is a website called http://www.informix.com and there is a particularly helpful section called http://www.informix.com/answers/ There are several books available, see http://www.informix.com/ipress You can also visit the techinfo centre at http://www.informix.com/informix/services/techinfo/ and the developers network at http://www/informix.com/idn Finally, before David yells again, the FAQ is at: http://www.iiug.org/resources/faq/ -- there is another, I forget where. :-) And of course, _once you've read all of those_, we'd be happy to answer any questions you had left. :-) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
