Are you being sarcastic or asking a question? Years ago with tools that are much less sophisticated than the one they have today we migrated a few instances from Oracle to Informix. The Informix people came in and it took about 1 day (10GB of data, 7000 tables). When they we done we had a working Informix instance that had the same support requirement as any other Informix instances that we support. The migration converted datatype, etc. and the application worked without change. I'm serious.
