Andrea De Angeli (deangeli@sienanet.it) was nice enough
to e-mail me the following information on the "datetime fractional
seconds problem":
well, James, I am using Informix 5.06 on a Digital
UNIX 5.3C server and I didn't experience this situation.
I am using datetime (year to fraction(3)) fields for
ordering my log entries and I am actually getting 10^-3 seconds
precision.
Are you really sure it is not a version/operating system scenario ?
Given that it seems to work on Digital, and Mr. Dennis J Pimple
suggests that we are missing a library (see his prior post), I
can only conclude that Informix has assigned a Known Bug
Number to a problem that is either limited to a specific set
of ports (I use Pyramids, my weapon of choice), or perhaps
due to the lack of libraries mentioned by Dennis.
More news, as it happens...
