I'm familiar with Oracle 7 but new to Informix 7. The server in question will be serving data Web/CGI users, and will be receiving updates from a remote site every few minutes. The remote data will come in as comma delimited ASCII. 1) Is there an Informix 7 equivalent of Oracle's SQL*Loader to load this data in? 2) Can the database continue serving data to the Web users while the tables are being updated with the new data? -- Cos (Ofer Inbar) -- cos@leftbank.com cos@cs.brandeis.edu -- WBRS (100.1 FM) -- WBRS@brandeis.edu http://www.wbrs.org/ Spam wastes aluminum and steel and causes high cholesterol, and kills pigs. -- Ben Tober <tober@bbnplanet.com> on IRC, midnight on 20 May 1995
