[comp.databases] Infomix Newsletter

                                         9 Mar 1987

   I received several inquiries concerning the Informix User's Group.
Rather than respond individually, I will post on the net since
comp.databases is rather sparsely used at the moment.

From Dan Flak: 
    I am having problems getting mail to the following sites:

        Al Gettier at logico!ism780c!seismo!ihnp4!infosw!al
        Murray Andrews at logico!ism780c!seismo!munnari!trlde.oz!andrews

From Ray Tripamer:
    Path posted is ...!JIMI!ray. It should be ...!jimi!ray

From Peter Smith:
    "Do you know of anyone who markets a suitable version of Informix?"

From Kurt Horton:
    "I've encountered a few bugs and would like a few clarifications of
     omissions from the manuals. Is this a useful forum to pose such
     queries". - (I can't see why not - Dan).

From Jyrki Yli-Nokari:
    is an Informix distributor in Findland.

From Peter Mabey:
    (in regards to SQL)
    "There's a bug we've come across: when a database has over 42 tables
    (i.e. more than can be displayed in a single submenu screen) various
    submenu options don't work which should let you either select from
    a list on screen or type in a name.

    For example, on selecting TABLE Info, we get the 'choose the table'
    message, but after a pause, in which INFORMIX presumably discovers
    that it hasn't room to display the list of all the tables, we just
    go back to the TABLE submenu, without even being given the chance
    to enter the name of the table.

    The same sort of thing happens for TABLE Repair and Drop (but not
    Alter, which displays the first 42 table names) and for FORM Generate
    & REPORT Generate."

I would like to thank everyone for his/her interest in the group.
I'll try to keep up with a weekly update of messages I receive, but
I encourage you all to write to the people who have similar hardware /
software / requirements directly.

My normal end of month posting of the complete Informix Users Group list
will be a little early this month since I will be going on vacation.
