Hello all
We are currently on V8.3E and are in the process of planning to upgrade to 9.
We're on HP kit using HPUX11
Does 9 come with a conv89 utility? I know a dump & load is probably the recommended way but conv89 may be useful when we test the install
Is a dump & reload very different in V9. I know I can rebuild indexes at same time as loading - otherwise is it all the same? can I use same scripts for binary dump & load?
About storage areas - does this give me the ability to identify very dynamic tables and have them in their own area so that I can idxbuild small parts of the db very quickly & very often if I need to.
If you have any scare stories for me to benefit from then I'd be grateful to hear of your experiences.
Thanks folks
