Re: Why there is no controlfile in Informix like Oracle ?

Yes it can be used, and no it doesn't do windows... here's what you need: - the frontend http://www.4glworks.com/dnld/4gwed-1.0c.sh.Z - the application framework http://www.4glworks.com/dnld/4glworks-2.0b12f.sh.Z - the DB2 source (Informix is built in) http://www.4glworks.com/dnld/sqsldb2-0.9b.sh.Z - an IBM Informix 4gl compiler of some description. I have to be honest, people don't find building this tool particularly straight forward, but it's not too complicated if you just read the readme (which you can't miss as the shell archive will page thru it after having extracted all files) I will get round to converting to configure/make/make install, some day Jesus Antonio Santos Giraldo wrote: > Well, this is a fine example of _doing something_ instead of _just > complaining_ (which I sould do more often...). > > Certainly you have a remarkable tool here, could it be used ? does it > runs on windows? > > > Chucho! > > > Marco Greco wrote: > >> >> ...... >> Not to blow my own trumpet, but if you want a dbaccess like tool with >> cursor control, placeholders, variables, hashes, control statements, >> input and output streams, interaction with the OS, 4gl & c formatting, >> API for external functions, ability to access multiple vendors >> database engines at the same time and a host of other goodies, you >> might want to have a look at my SQSL language, at >> >> http://www.4glworks.com/4wrcsqll.htm#FGWLANGREF >> >> It currently sports a curses (4GL) interface - cli and X interface are >> in the pipeline and will be out one of these years, depending on my >> mood^H^H^H^H schedule >> > > sending to informix-list > -- Ciao, Marco ______________________________________________________________________________ Marco Greco /UK /IBM Standard disclaimers apply!
