I've only gotten this information 2nd or 3rd hand, but apparently there is a major problem with updating stats (medium, I think) for 7.24.UC5. I've seen evidence of this, so I believe it, even though I haven't gotten specifics on the cause of the problem. I did see output from SET EXPLAIN ON, which showed hash joins for something which taken indexes. What I'm wondering is if there isn't some repository somewhere to report known problems with specific versions of Informix. Danny Wright danwright@bigfoot.com

Go to the TechInfo Center page of the Informix WEB Site and select Product Support Information. There is a selection there to perform defect queries. It only reports on cases that have actually had a defect (ie bug) number assigned though not cases under investigation. Art S. Kagel
