I'm in charge of a project to migrate our database progress 6.2 to an Progress 9 version, i want to know if it will be very hard to migrate our aplications or if take enough time to do it, or if there is a tool to migrate the aplications from a character version(6.2) to an graphics version(9). there is a big diference between programing in 6.2 and a 9.0 version?

Thanks for your help and have a nice day.

There are so many potential problems with the kind of project that you are undertaking that you absolutely have to work out the details on a test machine.

The test environment does not have to be exactly the same as the production machine. The test machine needs to run the same software as the production machine. This includes all of your applications. Then when you do the upgrade on the test machine you will find out if the applications have any problems.

I've seen unexpected problems crop up during upgrades. You don't want to have the production machine down while you and the DB admin try to figure out what went wrong.
