You explicitly wrote that this were probably people using Informix and trying to move away. Naturally, as usual, when confronted with logic that shows you're wrong you jump around like a lost rabbit, picking up other issues and subjects. Of course it means you accept the logic and everybody understands that. But instead of me having to correct your ridiculous points it would be easier and better if you read what you write, before sending, and just removed what is ridiculous. Leave the rest. We all like to read you. Regards. On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 3:00 AM, Ian Michael Gumby <im_gumby@hotmail.com>wrote: > LOL... > > Yes you're suffering from a lack of sleep. > > Here's the issue.
