RE: Migration vs. New install 7.3 to 9.2

Art, Do you have a bug # on this dbexport problem w/ 9.21? Thanks, Paul Mosser -----Original Message----- From: Art S. Kagel [mailto:kagel@bloomberg.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 12:07 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: Migration vs. New install 7.3 to 9.2 The only problem with upgrading in place to 9.2 is that upgraded tables/ databases cannot be dbexported. If your backup/safety strategy includes using dbexport you must consider exporting/importing or copying into a clean 9.2 instance. Art S.
