I may be wrong, but aren't those kits to help you move data from one to the other? That's not the hardest part of making a transition anyway. == Maintainer of the procrastinator's FAQ.

What type of applications are you migrating? If it is a custom programmed application the migration costs may be more than the license 'savings'. If it is some app that can run on both Oracle and Informix it may be easier. Just shoving data into some tables from another db is one thing, actually migrating applications is another deeper topic. -- --------------------------------------------------------- Steven Hauser email: hause011@tc.umn.edu URL: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~hause011 ---------------------------------------------------------
