onmode -z can only be run by informix/root. In ourcurrent situation, 'security' rules require that
we (developers), the people closest to 'the action'
cannot become informix or root on the production machines.
Occasionally, through the wonders of ODBC, we get
hung threads that have data locked. Instead of
of simply running onmode -z XXX, we have to track
down the DBA to do this.
Bitch and moan: Informix should allow owner
of thread onmode'ed the session .. like Unix will
allow you to kill own process.
