I am developing a client/server application using informix 7.2/Solaris 2.5 as the server and PCs running MSAccess2.0 as the client with InterSolve DataDirect 2.11 ODBC driver and I-Net 5.x. I have noticed that when a client dies in the middle of a transaction (between the ODBC calls BeginTrans and CommitTrans), the thread on the server never dies and never releases the locks. The same thing happens when I kill a dbaccess session, so the problem does not seem to be limited to ODBC connections. Does anyone know a workaround to this problem?
