DEFINITELY A FEATURE!!! dbexport and dbimport were designed originally for transferring databases between different engines. As SE doesn't have dbspaces and other OnLine engines might not have the same dbspaces it is always necessary when using the output of DBEXPORT to edit it before importing. This is well covered on the INFORMIX OnLine DBA courses. One of the tables has blob columns.
