>The Datablades offered by third party and Informix are a type of app are >they not? Yes, they are not. A DataBlade is a collection of data types and any functions required to manipulate them. Certain Blades contain so many features that they span platforms in the manner of an app, but it is still up to the customer to build an application around the capability of a DataBlade. You can get a pretty good description from Dr. Stonebraker's book "ORDBMS, The Next Great Wave." See a pointer to it at the IIUG site at http://www.iiug.org . ___________________________________________________________ Clem Akins (aka clem@informix.com) Informix Software, Inc (Standard disclaimers apply) International Technical Support Last seen: In balmy, beautiful Nashville--Music City, USA
