Specifically DBD::Informix? I haven't, but I'd wonder why Red Brick is the database of interest. I'll admit that the only thing that I know about it is Rick Moen's comment, "I love Red Brick. It is the only database that I know which consistently gives a different answer for 'select count(*) from foo' and 'select count(*) from foo where 1=1'." Hopefully they've improved because this didn't strike me as a recommendation... > I am going to be attempting this on a unix machine (hpux). Good luck. If you try it and run into trouble, you might get some useful advice from either http://www.perlmonks.org/ or the DBI list. Unless Red Brick itself is the problem.
