informix upward compatibility (fwd)

The biggest nuisance I found was that Informix added several hundred new reserved words. Table named with these had to be unloaded and dropped before the database could be converted. Then they were recreated with new names and loaded. This also caused all applications using these tables or using reserved words in other ways to be changed, recompiled and tested. I recommend you go to 4.1 if possible. Informix removed the new reserved words in 4.1 because of the many complaints. > +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ > |J.
