Re: Informix 7.2 - Good,Bad, or Indifferent

Hi, We were in the 7.2 BETA program. I was working with the HP version of 7.2. We were told that it would yield a 20% performance improvement; we didn't see any. In fact, we uncovered a bug in dbaccess which actually worsened performance by about 400%! This is supposedly fixed in the 7.2 release. Overall, 7.2 seemed to be pretty stable. We really need it for the GLS capability. Also, the performance loader is a great DBA tool. -Bill > > Hi, > > Has anyone had any experience with INFORMIX Dynamic Online Server 7.2? > We are thinking about upgrading to this version.
