Robin (Robert Wolanski) asked how to migrate a database from IDS 7.30 to 7.31 on NT. Hal Maner advised dbexport/dbimport. Obnoxio The Clown suggested uninstalling 7.30 keeping data, then installing 7.31. Robin asked about a 10 GB database. Hal said it likely needs export to tape, was unsure about 2 GB files on NTFS, and had done overnight migrations of that size.

1. Uninstall 7.30 leaving the data behind.
2. Install 7.31

You will probably have to dbexport to tape. I do not remember off hand if
IDS/NTFS allows > 2 GB.

Fast is always relative, but yes in my opinion - I have done overnight
migrations of that size before.
