This manual describes the migration procedures to convert to Version 10.0 of IBM Informix Dynamic Server, revert to older database servers, and move data between databases, database servers, and computers. This manual also contains information on how to use the dbexport, dbimport, dbload, dbschema, onload, and onunload data-migration utilities and the LOAD and UNLOAD SQL statements.
For information on migrating to other IBM Informix database server versions, see the Migration Guide that is included in the documentation set for that version of the server.
Migration includes conversion (upgrading) to a later version of a database server, reversion to an earlier version of a database server, and movement of data between databases, database servers on the same operating system, database servers on different operating systems, and different kinds of database servers. Conversion or reversion often involves changing connectivity information in the sqlhosts file or registry key, host environment variables, configuration parameters, and other database server features.
