Re: New Era Newbie Question

I want the reason why,because I think our developers are using the window painter. Do you need the newer 4gl to do this, is the 4gl compiler with NewEra enough? What is the DB performance Implications, if any? Also could you tell me what the column_security and table_security tables are for? Security Is being applied at DB level on my Informix DB (I know, NewEra is capable of running with other engines), so why not use the DB security tables (information for the sys...auth) to get this information? I just wondering why keep this redundant information at the DB level. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to answer these questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheryl Kendricks Internet:cherylk@prod1.jcdc.doleta.gov OR cherylk@gwysmtp.jcdc.doleta.gov DTSI, Inc.
