Re: Informix tool related question
Posted in 2004
You can potentially use the "onlog" to see what has occurred on which
tables in the database.
You can use the -u option to see what a specific user has done. So if
you connect as a specific user you can track what you have done.

tables are populated, affected by the specific transaction. So would
any one know if there is a tool that can tell me throught the informix
version that this application runs, what exactly happened in the
database, what has changed in the database, after the specific
transaction has went through.
