Using ROWID for selecton/identification ??? better think again

Recently people have been following the link of "How to limit rows selected?". There were a few suggestions which uses ROWID for selection. In later versions of Informix, by default, this so called ROWID is available only in NON-FRAGMENTED tables. If the table is going to be fragmented one, then by adding WITH ROWIDS clause to your create table statement (available only in On-Line) Informix will add a column by the name ROWID to that tbale, which will have unique values. But this not an indexed column, still people want to use it ??? I don't get it ??? -- Have a nice day Felix K. Mathews mailto:fmathews@systems.dhl.com
