RE: Questions on Informix
The OP is in South Africa. Cape Town by the looks of it.
I would caution that they keep things simple in their setup because they are
really, really far away from technical support.
Just because something is possible, doesn't mean you want to do it.
With respect to Informix, it has the best HDR of any database on the market.
With IDS 11, there are a couple of ways to crack his nut.
If he wants good support, he'll have to bribe someone in kilos of biltonge
?sp?. ;-)
