We are thinking about a migration of an informix DB (on AIX platform) towards SQL Server 2000 (on W2000 platform). What are the major pitfalls/things to take in consideration.

How about:

Informix was already making databases while people didn't even know about Bill...

you could also:
Check the amount of problems in this forum and than check the amount of problems in the SQL-Server forum...

What version of Informix are you working with?

Informix Online Dynamic Server V 6.0

So that's why you want to migrate...
Why not migrate to IDS 9.30 and have 100 times more (working)features than Microsoft.

Hi
in the past I tried it from Informix 7.31 to SQL 7.0.. It worked with the utilities delivered with the SQL-Server. Had only problem with date-fields.
