Does anyone out there have any experience with various versions of Informix?
My organization has several medium-to-large databases running under plain old
vanilla Informix which are soon to become a whole lot bigger.  Because of a
desire for improved performance and a need to revamp the databases for other
reasons anyway, we are considering starting over with Informix SQL or
Informix ESQL.  Are the much-touted advantages of the latter two sufficient
to justify the hassles of changing horses in mid-stream?  (We run System V
on a 3B15, a 3B2 and various 3B1s, if it matters.)

I am an infrequent user of this ut-sally account and an infrequent reader
of news, so please reply directly to the UUCP address below.  I'll summarize
to the net if there's any interest.  Thanks.
