Re: Reliability of Informix on DEC Alpha

What are the experiences concerning reliability? The reason for this question is the following: We are a quite new Informix user and we started to develop a 24hours/day 7days/week application on this platform a few month ago. Due to a lot of problems (data corruptions, blocking, ..) we start loosing more and more confidence in this platform. Thanks for telling me your experiences, >> One of our large customer uses Informix v7 on DEC Alpha, and he has found a lots of pbs with it. You are not alone ! Expericence: Our application is developped in ESQL/C; when we use our application on the DEC Alpha, it craches the Informix OnLin kernel and the Unix server !!!!! Informix told our customer that their was a bug in our application (perhaps). We spend 3 days in working on our application to try to locate the bug in our application, and finally we have proved to Informix that the bug was coming from their kernel. Thanks Informix ! NB: Informix has not yet paid is technical support to our company ;-) --->> On our site a SHAREWARE SQL Query Tool <<------- --->> & a middleware much faster than SQL*Net <<------- Frederic BOUQUET Client/Server & SQL RDBMS email: fbouquet@cornut.fr http://www.cornut.fr/
