We are an application software company for a local market using Informix SE for some years now. Our customers want to upgrade to On-Line (on Unix) and OWS (on NT) Like the majority of us, we do not want to re-engineer our 4gl and NewEra applications much, but we are aware of behavior changes between SE and the other engines. QU: Has anyone made a comparison matrix between the above mentioned engines (in a readable format) on subjects like: 4GL code to be changed Performance issues Tuning aspects Scalability Multi-Tier solutions I went through the www.iiug.org info and Tech.Notes from Informix but they do not clarify were to watch out for. Our customer database sizes are aprox. 1 GB up to 4 GB and are in the OLTP environment using client/server applications in a Windows 95 environment..
