Re: Off Topic: Cesar Cruz

The first extent value is also stored internal by Informix. If you update systables you do not update the internal value. Instead you corrupt your database catalogs and oncheck (probably -cc) will report the problem. You must never update any system catlogs directly. That is not supported and will never achieve want you think it will. Instead you just cause corruption. The manual clearly say not to update the sys* tables directly.
