HEH, you will soon miss dbschema, easy parallel processing (no more just set vcpu to (n host cpu) -1 ) and sensible architecture. -- --------------------------------------------------------- Steven Hauser email: hause011@tc.umn.edu URL: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~hause011 ---------------------------------------------------------

It's not. Maybe 1/10 as good. And yes I am using the 'latest & greatest' 8i release. Lucky I still have my personal Informix systems to develop/maintain stuff on. Nobody here seems to be mentioning much Java stuff, though, still 4GL. Oh well, back to the other n/gs. Peter Wiley
