O.S. is HP-UX Ver 11.0 running on a HP N class server. Several NT, SUN based applications lookup the database (via ODBC) along with a traditional Informix r4gl application running on the HP N Class server. It is fair to say this would be considered the mission critical application amongst all the apps that reference the database. Most operations are via this App. Most others just use the DB for lookup purposes. (There is a small amount of updating from some of these apps) Q1) What are the benefits of upgrading to Version 9. ( Dont afraid to be too technical) Q2) We received a quotation of close to a million Euro for such an upgrade. We currently have a 128 user licence agreement with IBM/Informix. Is this consistent with your own experiences ? Rgds, John. The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged. It is intended solely for the addressee.
