Some databases though, allow you to report data out as csv files. These could be used along with some of the new migration tools such as the data load forms etc. to migrate between two databases..
It's a roundabout way, and doing it that way might mean that you may not be able to export all application data with applications like CMDB, which may mean that you would need to redo the data in such applications, especially if you have done a load of customizations.. Customizations would be easier on other applications to export and import, but CMDB would probably pose a challenge since you need to build new classes using the osdriver so it creates all that necessary backend data..

For example I switch back and forward between Oracle and MS SQL 2 times. The only issue is database performance and how it easy to manage it. In my case ARS + MS SQL 2000 Enterprise was better than ARS + ORCL 10gi Enterprise.

Since BMC will no longer support Informix after 7.6.3 I need to take the leap away from Informix. Any advice appreciated. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
