May be you could go to the Informix development department with this
utility and have them create a supported version? May be you ended up
working there as well :-)
May be one day it would support onbar as well? (I still use ontape and
will probably have to continue doing that until Informix comes out
with the promised second part - the one that actually writes the data
to tape, whatever it was called.)
As it does an onunload may be one day it could do an unload (ascii
format) as well? That might be usefull in making it simple to check
the data before it's reloaded into the database.
I realize the nature of the utility and these are *not* requests of
you to do anything about them. This is just meant as comments of what
might be possible to do and may be the developers could one day do
something about it. Table level restore was after all quite high on
the IIUG wish list and it seems to me that this utility could solve it
quite elegantly.
