Ifmx 12.10.FC14
Solaris 10 1/13
The management at my organization has decided that Informix is not to be in our future. We will be migrating from Informix on Solaris on SPARC to MS SQL Server on Windows.
We will likely be using a contractor for this operation, but I am also investigating other options.
I feel like a traitor, but I am asking anyway. There appear to be some migration tools which promise good things. Some that I have stumbled upon by consulting my good friend, Dr. Google, are offerings from Ispirer.com, SQLines.com, and dbsofts.com. No doubt, there are others. I'm doing this in my spare time, just to "trust but verify" so to speak. One of the primary drivers of this effort maintains that it is pointless to even evaluate software migration tools because there are none that work, so it is a waste of time to evaluate any.
Might anyone know if that really is the case?
Are there any migration tools that actually work, to migrate "the whole ball of wax" (tables, spls, etc.) from Informix to MS SQL Server?
Thank you (sadly).
