The linked case study made it into my thesis on Open Source Database Migration. This is its "Informix to PostgreSQL" chapter: http://www.osdbmigration.de/thesis/node98.html The full thesis is available for download here: http://www.osdbmigration.org/misc/migrating_OSDB_jh.pdf There is some more, probably helpful stuff on my osdbmigration-site, like eg the feature matrix: http://www.osdbmigration.org:8080/osdb/osdb-features Unfortunately most of the stuff there is not up to date anymore (written Dec 2005). Feel free to contact me personally if you have any more questions. Jutta -- ____________________________________________________ Jutta Horstmann (Dipl. Inform., Dipl.
