Why on earth aren't you looking at a proper high-end RDBMS like Informix-OnLine? If you do, it stands to knock spots off the competition. OnLine has had some very, *very* good reviews lately. Rely on C-ISAM for a 40GB d/b and you're throwing yourself open to all sorts of performance, integrity, reliability and fault-tolerance issues. Particularly worrying is that you say "C-ISAM" and not even "Informix-SE", ie. the C-ISAM - based SQL engine. akent@cix.compulink.co.uk (Andy Kent) -------------------------------------
