First, take a look at Jonathan Leffler's _Using Informix SQL_. It is good general background. Second, take a look at any of the OnLine manuals beginning with Version 5.0. They're all pretty good. My publisher will be releasing several books at the '94 Informix World User's Conference in July, 94. They are: my book _Informix DBA Survival Guide_ a book on Informix application tuning a book on Informix engine tuning Check your bookstores. The publisher is Prentice Hall/Simon & Schuster's new press "Informix Press".
