Re: who can do a dbimport

Hi, there's really no need to run dbimport as user "informix". Ensure that you have set all neccessary environment variables like: INFORMIXDIR=path_of_your_installation_directory PATH=$PATH:$INFORMIXDIR/bin INFORMIXSERVER=your_server_name export INFORMIXDIR INFORMIXSERVER If this attempt will fail, please be so kind and tell us your error number or the resulting error message. Hope this will help, bye Stefan Weideneder wrobelc@belnet.bellevue.k12.wa.us wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm the UNIX admin and rather new to Informix.
