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.
