And that's what seems wierd. I can find tons of info on everything but that. 
They (IBM) do have a RAD tool that seems to be the ticket, but alas *it* is not 
available in a "free personal edition".

However I can "telnet" into the server and dink around, and it seems that 
someone should be able to CREATE database...  and INSERT INTO...  I just don't 
know the proper syntax.

U2 is what Informix turned into this century in case there is any familiar with 
Informix from the 80's and 90's.
