| Subj: | | V2R5.0 - Is It Worth Upgrading Yet? |

Is anyone successfully using V2R5 in a production environment. Has anyone upgraded and been forced to back out to / stay with V2R4.x as
a result of encountering serious problems? We are planning to upgrade to V2R5 from V2R4.1 within the next 1 - 4 months but don't want to
proceed if it will create major problems with our existing systems.
We are planning to upgrade to V2R5 within the next 1 - 4 months. We have a 4900 channel attached to an IBM mainframe. Updates are
primarily via daily and weekly Multiload and BTEQ jobs run overnight on the mainframe. User queries are via both Queryman and Business
Objects 5.x from (mainly) Windows 98 PCs. A lot of use is made of sub-queries, derived tables, OLAP functions such as RANK. Very little or
no use is currently made of global and volatile temporary table, stored procedures, triggers etc.. We also have a couple of third-parrty
applications that, as far as I know, were written back in the days of V2R3 or possibly even V2R2. They work fine on V2R4.1.3 but we are
concerned that V2R5.0 might not be so forgiving.
Thanks in advance.
