How much DBA experience do you have? If you need something quick, then I'd recommend the Informix documentation on the IBM website . . . . PDF format . . . http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/pubs/library/notes/relnotes/docnotes.html If you need manuals only, then . . . http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/pubs/library/ If you've reviewed the basics in the manuals and still have questions, post themhere at c.d.i. Lot of good Informix information (and the occasional comic relief) around here too. Glad to have you aboard . . . . JWC
