What is the difference between the "CONNECT TO" stmt and the "DATABASE" statement? I'm looking at pages 1-78 and 1-198 respectively - in the Informix Guide to SQL Syntax 7.1, for the descriptions of these commands. Is the "CONNECT TO" syntax required for Informix Online, and the "DATABASE" syntax is available for use with SE? Or is it so one can connect to a server, then connect to different databases on that server? thanks. Tom
