A form of Japanese (I think) stress therapy is where you write the name of the person you're angry/frustrated with on a piece of china and smash it to bits. I just gave you a name to use to vent your backup frustrations... ;) Seriously, I'm the real deal. Hope I can be of some use to you and the Informix user community in general.
