System is runtime, and (thus?) there are no manuals with it. Thus! Manuals are not included with run-time copies of Informix software. This is most noticeably justifiable with run-time copies of I4GL and ISQL. >Basically, what are the command-line options to 'dbaccess'? >Can I run a once-off script (not a stored procedure) similar to >'isql mydatabase script.sql'? Yes. You can run stored procedures with dbaccess. You cannot run stored procedures with ISQL if said stored procedures return values. The options to dbaccess are the roughly same as those for isql, except... dbaccess does not have: forms (-f or -fX) reports (-r or -rX) user menus (-u or -uX) Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@obelix.informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
