Can you elaborate on "upload the data (using menus backup the data)".
What menus are you referring to?

Use the Informix admin utilities and store &nbsp;the DB.<br />
<br />
Sorry about the referance to menus, got it mixed up with isql. (Haven't used Infrmix in over a year)<br />

I have a huge database in Informix that keeps track of username, date, computer etc... of every plot sent to our plotter. &nbsp;This database has over 150,000 records in it now. &nbsp;I removed about 100,000 records but the file size of the database files remained the same.<br />
Is there a pack tool or something like that that will purge the removed records from the database? &nbsp;Searching is awful slow now!!

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
