Re[2]: Informix documentation annoyances and complaints...

How about having the capability of having a search span the manuals, I was looking for the meaning of the histogram columns and couldn't find which manual contained these. I also couldn't find the syntax entry for dbschema to generate histograms for a particular column. While we're off the subject, if someone could point me in the right direction for these, I'd have a better weekend!

They're good, but I miss some technical details. (that's probably why we have OSS and books like "FooBar Inside Out") But then again, you just bragged about not having read the manuals since 95'...

Go to the Adobe web site and download the latest version of Acrobat reader. Be sure to check the box for (include option for searching PDF files). This will allow you to search across pdf files. In the search screen, you will need to attach the indexes which come with the pdf files on the cd before searching for the first time (files with the suffix of .pdx) Kevin_Burdish@timeinc.com wrote: > How about having the capability of having a search span the manuals, I > was looking for the meaning of the histogram columns and couldn't find > which manual contained these.
