dbexport works correctly unless you want to migrate to another vendor :-)
If you want a free production license, why do't you download Informix Innovator-C Edition
there ?
You will lose functionality and performance with MySql :-(, not a good idea
And if you want to come back, here is an
excellent article by Sanjit Chakraborty explaining how to migrate from MySql to Informix Innovator-C Edition
