Hi All !!

I just want to know other's experiences in migrating from DB2 UDB
6.1 for Workgroup to DB2 UDB 8.2 Express Edition, is it possible to
migrate the databases ? Will 8.2 Express accept to restore an 6.1
backup ?? The databases are small, no bigger than 3 GB, many triggers,
very few *lobs, a couple of external functions in .DLLs, almost no
stored procs. Operating system is Windows 2000 Server Edition.
Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Should work. Migration is supported across two releases AFAIK.
The edititions (WG, Express, ...) don't matter. What counts are the
versions (V6->V8).

Cheers
