Come on people, nobody has any thoughts about this issue?
I have been testing informix for more than one week with the new storage layer, i don't see a reason (for informix) to use the old database classes. We fixed some bugs, and added some functionality to make the migration to the new storage layer easier for informix.
Ok, I think this is also true for the EO. I don't know any other organization using Informix, maybe we can decide to remove the old informix database classes?
