Re: SE UNIX -> NT
Posted in 1999
I think you'd have to start with Informix Dynamic Server Workgroup Edition
on NT. Of course you'll have to dbexport -> dbimport your databases
(or unload->load data on table by table basis).
Anyway, even you'll have luck getting and installing SE server for NT
(sorry, I don't remember its availabillity) you'll have to go by
dbexport->dbimport. I don't think the .idx and .dat files structure
is compatible among platforms.
Best Regards,
Octav
