We upgraded to Informix online v7 and have converted all our applications. We connected to the Watcom database with an ODBC client and happily connected multiple applications making simultaneous retrievals through the same ODBC client. However we did have problems when the application attempted to multi-thread within the SQLCA object of the Powerbuilder application. I-Net v5 is presenting problems, we can happily have two applications running as switched tasks under Windows 3.11 provided only one application is interacting with the database at a time. I would like to find a solution to this problem. I would also like to be able to stop a retrieve that is in progress and am failing to find a solution. Can anyone shed some light here?
