I'm looking for a good Informix sql manual that would have all the commands and subcommands. The one I have is bare bones and is frustration at times to use. If you go to the bookstore there's like a gazillion books on sql, didn't know which one is more inline with Informix's flavor of sql. The one I have doesn't have lpad, substr, etc. which I use a lot. Also on most command if it has the syntax it has no explanation. Any suggestions? John

Have a look at "Informix SQL Syntax" here: http://MydasSolutions.com/documentation Or go directly to the IBM web site here: http://www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/pubs/library Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
