Re: Migrate BLOBs From 5.x to 7.3 ?

Last year I moved from Turbo (remember that) to 7.20, and ended up dumping all the blobs to disk and reloading. The problem was dbexport not working as per expectations on large exports ie 64GB. OK not large by today's standards but large for 10 years ago. All non-blob data was moved via dbexport without a hitch Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence >>> "M.
