When you run oninit -i Informix recreatres logical and physical logs, as specified in ONCONFIG file. If you run this command, all your previous data will be lost. Also, this command creates such structures as SYSUTILS and SYSMASTER databases. The oninit command simply creates shared memory without any disk modifications. ONINIT command is used to bring your system from off-line to online mode. -- With best regards, Yuri Dovgart. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
