DBAccess garbled display

dbaccess, informix

If you try to use dbaccess on the command line, it might not work properly if your TERM is configured badly.

I got this once instead of the "nice" interface:

DBACCESS:OOPSOOPSConnectionOOPSDatabaseOOPSTableOOPSSessionOOPSExitOOPSUseOOPSSQLOOPSqueryOOPSlanguage.OOPS------------------------------------------------OOPSPressOOPSCTRL-WOOPSforOOPSHelpOOPS--------OOPS

You can fix it by doing:

export TERM=vt100

before calling dbaccess.
