Hi, we have a table with a byte data type column.
Doing a dbexport, droping the database, fallowed by a dbimport this column's data does not matches with the data before the dbexport.

This column holds basically binary information (images) that are lost.

We are using Informix 9.21 on W2K Server.

This is not normal behaviour. I would advise to to log this problem at your local support.
