While we're on the subject... At my current job all the programmers were told to never, ever kill a sqlturbo process, but to get the DBA to do it. I, of course, totally ignore this policy when I need to bail out of a long querey. I use kill -15. There seems to be some concern that if you are doing an update to the Informix database and you do a kill -15 on the process, that sqlturbo will not clean up any locks. I always assumed it was smart enough to clean up after itself as long as you didn't do a kill -9. Does anyone out there confer or am I off base? We use Informix 4.11 on the Pyramid.
