This may seem like a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway. I'm running Informix SE 7.22 ands have just added logging to my database using the command : start database set log on "/data1/db.log". This seems to be working as the db.log file is being written to for all updates. I can't seem to find out how to apply this log to the database. Does anyone know what the command is.

You don't need to apply the log to the DB. That is a log of what Informix has done already. You should only worry about 'applying' the log if you have to restore your data from a backup. See the Backup & Restore Guide in the Informix docs. S.W.
