->I'm looking for some background of Informix's "Dirty Read" mode.
->Specifically: How is it invoked? Can it be turned on/off for an entire

Steven,

The command you want is:

set isolation to dirty read
                 committed read
                 cursor stability
                 repeatable read

"After a set isolation statment executes, the new isolation level
 remains in effect until you enter another set isolation statement or
 until the end of the program."

See Informix Guide to SQL Reference pp. 7-294 through 7-296 for more
info.
