    <p>Previously I posted a question so I could confirm our current (albeit archaic) version of Informix here:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/682154/how-do-you-identify-informix-version-on-solaris">How do you identify Informix version on Solaris?</a></p> <p>(Thank you Jonathan and RET for clearing that up)</p> <p>We are definitely planning on upgrading but are first discussing if it would make more sense to move to Oracle or Sybase at this time. What are your opinions on this? It's my belief that while all 3 RDBMs have their own uniqueness, they must all cover the same ground essentially. So how does one go about deciding what database to use?</p> <p>The big kicker is I need to know if we upgrade Informix (currently using 7.13), will we need to modify our embedded sql C programs? If not, then it makes a lot of sense to stick with Informix. Because if we went with Sybase/Oracle etc, we'd have a lot of work on our hands to update the back-end programs.</p> <p>But if switching to another database can offer great return in comparison then we will still consider it. I look forward to hearing your opinions.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
