And your point would be . . . . ? I'm saying, in my case with my systems, it works. Not as perfect as I'd like, but it works. Rows get updated / inserted on source; rows get replicated to reporting server. Nothing fancy . . . .

. . . was cross-posted to all three, thus the reply / correction / comment gets cross-posted as well.. If you don't really wish to talk (intelligently or otherwise) about Informix, then why bother posting to c.d.i? You do have the right to post; other Oracle DBAs post here too. But when it gets ridiculous, we also have the right to either correct or ignore.
