But I believe you want me to applogy on the news group. So, I apologized. In fact, I read your question on LRUs. It is a well written message. It is impossible to post such a message without knowing Informix. So, you do know Informix. Probably we should discuss why you have all the problems with Informix. We are currently running OnLine 7.11UC1 on Sparc 20 with 2 CPUs and Solaris 2.4. We did experience some problems with the product, but they all turned out that we did not strictly follow the instructions dedicated in the release notes. Our onconfig settings have been posted on 2 CPU VPs issue. Our read cache is always above 95%, and write cache is always above 90%. I raised the issue of BLOB, not because of BLOB is critical but because I know Orable has problem dealing with BLOB. Chao
