hi
im learning on my college how to use databases, so i installed informix 9.4
from iugg site
on my xp machine

but the problem is when it start to initialize it just does that for a veery
long time
i left it for half hour and it wasn't finished so i though i should install
probably some more
things on my computer before installing informix

can you tell me what to do??

thanx

and if you can please tell me how to connect to that same database server
with avg studio
(also on iugg site)


thanx again

How are you trying to initialize it? ie what are you running? Did it
hang during installation, or is it subsequent attempts to initialize
that hang?

Just making sure you're not trying to run oninit directly from the
command line, UNIX style.

Also if you run "onstat -m" from an IDS command window when it appears
to hang, what do you see?

Does the ROOTPATH file (C:\IFMXDATA\ika\rootdbs_dat.000) exist? Is it the
full 51.2MB? If not, you killed the oninit too soon, the time spent was in
creating and padding the initial chunk. It's one problem with using COOKED
files for IDS chunks.
