Re: Looking for DB Priv Mgmt Tool

I've used (evaluation copy) Platinum Desktop DBA product on both v5.x and 7.x of Informix. It handles version 7.x well, seeks out and handles all databases in the instance. I got sent a beta version of the 4.1 product, and it handles version 5.x, but you have to declare each database separately and log onto them one at a time. It allows you to point-click setting privileges on a table for many users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Herb Blacker Cimarron, Inc.
