GOAL:
How long does it take for a database conversion from Progress 8 to Progress 9 using Conv89 utility?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
FIX:
An exact estimate is hard to do.
The database conversion will (among other things):
- Create/Update the definitions of the Virtual System Tables, which are activated by default in Progress 9.
- Update the schema (_File, _Field etc.) to implement new features such as index-level CRC.
- Create SQL92 tables.
However, no operation is done on the user records and indexes, so the conversion is independent of the database size and it should always be a matter of minutes.
Please remember to backup your database before converting the database: if the conversion fails for any reason, the database is completely unrecoverable.
