Wayne: I don't think you need to go through all the unload, load process, but I don't have 9.11. When we were running IUS beta testing, we had totally five times upgrade and we were dealing a more than 100Gb database. The upgrade was very simple: mv your old IUS engine to another directory; load new engine to your $INFORMIXDIR; mv ONCONFIG and SQLHOSTS files back; then you can bring up your IUS server. In case you have some particular datablade, you may need unregister them and reregister them if there is any change in between. Also, we did rebuild our rtree index in some upgrade, but definately no data loading.
