Informix database access from the PC - I/O issue

--openmail-part-00a74e73-00000001 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=openmail-part-00a74e73-00000002 --openmail-part-00a74e73-00000002 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; name="BDY.RTF" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="BDY.RTF" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Got the ODBC driver from Informix 2.80 32 bit and also for laughs Intersolv 3.01 32 bit. Compiled the lastest prod Perl , DBI and DBD::ODBC modules and got connected to the database :-) However, I have the following question. Every time I go to access the database and read entries from a table the disk on the PC starts grinding, (it works, but seems IO bound on the= PC side) Is there something I have overlooked on the configuration ?

Check out the CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) at www.perl.com or www.perl.org for info on where to get the Perl module and search for ODBC on the Web to get addressses of Informix-ODBC vendors (try Intersolv, they make a lot of ODBD drivers). =20 Vasudev Ram Infosys Technologies Ltd.
