How can the logical log number be reset?

Is there a way to reset the logical log number (e.g., 281987 -> 1) in Informix Dynamic Server without totally reinstalling the database? Thanks. Jon

This is the fantastic sort of help I've come to expect from this newgroup (no offense Art S. Kagel - you're the greatest). I have three appropriate responses to Vladdy boy's wonderfully helpful response: 1) Why not? 2) Because. 3) Why does he care why? and one fairly safe assumption: 1) He doesn't know how, anyway. (Why don't you prove me wrong?) Let's continue this discussion in an alt.philosophy newsgroup. Anyway, I meant resetting uniqid, not log number (see onstat -l). Have a nice day, Dracula. :-) Jon Vlad the Impailer wrote in message <37c4f712@isoit370.bbn.hp.com>... >Why ?? > >Jon Eichelberger <jon.eichelberger@sap-ag.de> wrote in message >news:7q1kkl$e9s$1@mailusr.wdf.sap-ag.de... >>Is there a way to reset the logical log number (e.g., 281987 -> 1) in >>Informix Dynamic Server without totally reinstalling the database? >> >>Thanks. >> Jon >> >> > >

No there is no way to do this. I am also curious as to why you need to do this though? Go easy on Vlad, no armies have marched on his castle in eons. Art S. Kagel
