Bruno SITOT, with Informix and UNIX on an RS/6000 and a UNIX V/386 and only a # prompt, asked how to build a database. Joe Lumbley said to read the manuals, take courses and read books. Bust joked that he should run rm * from the root directory, and Greg Dewinter liked that answer. No technical help was given.

You need to dig into the manuals, attend some courses, and read some books. You're not ready to even think about building a database until you are able to answer most of this question by yourself. If you've been thrown into an Informix/UNIX environment and you have just a root prompt, unless you get some competent help fast, you're in an impossible situation. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Lumbley(jlumbley@netcom.com) author of: "INFORMIX DBA Survival Guide" The DBA Survival Guide, Second Edition covers NT, 7.X through 7.3, graphical utilities, more survival hints.

That's easy, the "#" is the root prompt, do a "cd /" and then "rm *" and answers yes to the succeeding prompts...I guess you will start reading the manuals afterwards.. Good luck...
