Version 5.1 is no longer being maintained by IBM; we were some displeased when we heard when support offerings were expiring :-(. Fortunately, we already had plans in place for a migration to 5.3. I have to agree that even 4.3 is "really rather old" now. Looking at IBM's "support lifecycle" list... <http://www-306.ibm.com/software/info/supportlifecycle/list/a.html> AIX version Available Support Withdrawn ----------------------------------------------------------------- 5.1 May 2001 April 2006 5.2 Oct 2002 Sept 2008 5.3 Aug 2004 unannounced, presumably late 2010... I'd guess that 4.3 fell out of support in late 2004. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="linuxdatabases.info" in String.concat "@" [name;tld];; http://linuxfinances.info/info/ "Of course 5 years from now that will be different, but 5 years from now everyone will be running free GNU on their 200 MIPS, 64M SPARCstation-5." -- Andrew Tanenbaum, 1992. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
