with non-ansi-compliant code.... Because of a problem we are having with row-locking, we are considering changing our database to MODE ANSI. I am in the process of learning the ramifications of this move. So far, we have seen that modifying the create on the database to ANSI helps in one particular circumstance (without ansi-compliant code (-ansi switch in ESQL/c)). What other ramifications (especially subtle) might we experience? I can create new databases with ansi mode. Can we change a production database to ansi, or will it have to be unloaded and recreated?
