We hope to soon convert our 5.0 installation to 6.2.  I had assumed
that our Ingres applications (almost all OSL based) would be totally
compatible.  The Ingres Release 6 Conversion Guide seems to be quite
a pessimistic document, though, and seems to hint of problems to
come.  I would appreciate any comments on people's conversion
experience or into regarding such a conversion.

PS: "An empty Release 6 database, for example, requires
approximately 774 Mb..."  I hope RTI proofread the rest of this
guide a little better than the first few chapters :-).
