Is there a DB Setting that can change this? I am also Yes. That's because they both adhered to the ANSI standard. :-) You can't change this, although there are perennial rumours that this is due for a change. >wondering if there are any other limits or interesting features Informix has >that others don't. Well, it all depends on how you look at it, doesn't it? :) The FAQ is at www.iiug.org. good luck! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
