I'm trying to reconfigure a table after adding a field.
When baan tries to drop the table I get this error:
Drop original table error 1951

It's an informix 7.31 database on a working backup server.

I added full permissions to the database (grant dba to public)
In informix (dbaccess) I can drop the table without a problem.

Informix error information
Error -951: User username is not known on the database server. ?

Any Ideas?

-951 User username is not known on the database server.
The database server that you tried to access does not accept either your user ID, the login name that is specified for the desired server host in your ~/.netrc file, or the user name that is specified in the USER clause of a CONNECT statement. If you are explicitly specifying your user name in the ~/.netrc file or in a CONNECT statement, check that the name is correct. If you do not have a valid user ID on the server computer, see your system administrator. This message appears with Version 6.0 and later.


-951 User is not known on remote host.
This statement refers to a database on another computer system, but the other system does not accept your account name. You must have a valid login identity on any computer system you access. See your network administrator about getting a login ID. This message appears prior to Version 6.0.

this may help you

Good Luck !

I've already seen that, but it doesn't really help.
I don't have a .netrc file and I don't know the user that baan is using for the drop statement. (I logged in as bsp)

I found the problem.

It looks like baan uses the user 'baan' to drop tables :rolleyes:
This user existed in the database but not under the OS.
