I'm currently using the .03 release of Informix, and at some stage we'll probably upgrade to the 4.0 release. Is there any sort of upgrade guide available? (You know... "The following are now keywords, change all variables with these names to something else." and so forth). Thanks, Tony.

We upgraded from .03 to 4.0 a few months ago. The Turbo/On-Line conversion was rather involved because our release of "tbcheck" was broken. But all the 4GL code simply need recompiled. One keyword clash we encountered was "sitename": a column with that name was automatically renamed to "name_site" when "dbreload"ed. However, ESQL/C 4.0 has a new pre-processor with new directives and two kinds of file inclusion. This was a major annoyance, but after the code was fixed, the preprocessor allows greater flexibility. -- John Ackley <john@equi.com> // The usual disclaimer stuff
