Check out the updates to the software repository.

Jonathan Leffler has released SQLCMD version 72.06.

It has a version of 'XML metadata' in it, triggered by -F xml and either
-H or -T (you get the same with either or both). (Beware: the details of
the XML behaviour are likely to change in future releases. Complete
backwards compatibility is not guaranteed by default - but you should be
able to configure the current behaviour if you need it.).

It has various small bug fixes in it, including enhancements to CSV
handling - for details, see the ChangeLog.

The history mechanism has been revised to handle locking so that several
processes can use the same history file and the resulting SQL is cleanly
interleaved. Previously, you could get weird results and corruption.

I've also updated the 'config.guess' and 'config.sub' scripts to the
versions that are distributed with autoconf 2.57 - which is the most
current version.

The 64-bit support is still not as thoroughly tested as I'd like. And the
support for IUS extended types is better than it was, but still far from
stellar.

For more details about the changes, look at the ChangeLog file.

Robert Sosnowski has updated load2

Now linked with zlib library so gzipped files are immediately accessible.
Unload now uses fetch array which increases performance a bit. Also few
bug fixes.

Art Kagel has a new release of utils2_ak.

Updates include:
This is mainly a compatibility update. The entire package will now compile
without code changes using ESQL/C 7.xx, C4GL 7.xx, or cSDK 2.xx. Only a
minor makefile change, noted in the README and make files is needed to
compile using ESQL 7, 4GL support is automatic.

Ravi Krishna submited version 2.1 of listtabchunk

In this version option -d can be specified to list all all tables/indices
residing in all chunks of a dbspace.

Albert Smith gave us master_event.plx

This program will monitor all event's reported by the Informix Engine and
log and will automatically back up logical logs as they fill. This program
will also look at the free redo logs and send an email alert (either email
or pager number) if the number of free logs =< total logs.
