Re: Upgrade Informix version 5 to version 9

We had to re-compile and re-test ESQL/C applications upgrading from 7.24.UC1 to 7.24.UC4. Enquiring about this, Informix said that upgrading between interim releases SHOULD not require re-compilation BUT if you have to make sure that nothing is left to chance then you MUST re-compile and re-test. I'm sure you'll have to re-compile your ESQL/C application. Best regards, Cristian.
