Re: [Q] fragmentation and rowids

So what you're saying is that an application using ISQL forms will work perfectly OK following an upgrade (as it did at my last place of employment when we upgraded from 5.0.3 to 7.13/ISQL 4 to 6), but if 'the powers that be' decided to fragment tables, EVERY table would have to be rebuilt with rowids before ANY ISQL form would work. Jeez! (This would be an issue - c.50 databases of varying sizes, all using PERFORM as the front end). Please tell me I'm wrong!!! Richard.
