Finally the time has come . . . Our third-party financial software company is finally supporting Informix 7.2x on the HP 10.01 platform. Now I get to experiment with some new toys after attending the 7.2 Extended Feature Set class here in Atlanta. What's different about the 7.23 engine? I know about the in-place table alters, onbar, and the high-performance loader. Anything else I need to be on the lookout for? Any gotchas? Is performance better? PDQ and fragmentation smoother? Any other considerations for upgrading? I'll be installing the software a week from Monday, when I return from class. Any foresight that you might have would be greatly appreciated.
