Are there any common errors / issues related to using the dump/load strategy vs. sqlupgrade utility for upgrade/migration to ASE 15.x (from ASE 12.5.x)?
Are there any common errors / issues related to using the dump/load strategy vs. sqlupgrade utility for upgrade/migration to ASE 15.x (from ASE 12.5.x)? Hi everyone, I've been reading posts on this discussion thread to try to see if I can find any disadvantage of using the dump/load strategy vs. using the sqlupgrade utility (i.e. common errors / issues). I noticed that some have run into errors after the upgrade/migration when using system stored procedure(s). So this sparked a few questions... 1) Is one upgrade/migration strategy prone to more errors and issues than the other (dump/load strategy vs. sqlupgrade utility)? 2) Has anyone faced a situation where they tried to use the dump/load strategy, but ran into so many issues / errors, that they finally had to start over (from scratch) and go with using sqlupgrade utility instead. Meaning that in the end, if they would have gone with the sqlupgrade utility first, they wouldn't have lost so much time. 3) Or... is the dump/load strategy just as safe as using the sqlupgrade utility. 4) Is the sqlupgrade utility the most recommended strategy (including by Sybase)? Or are they both well supported and recommended strategies (including by Sybase)? NOTE: The reason I ask this... because I potentially want to use the dump/load strategy for our ASE 15.x upgrade/migration (from ASE 12.5.x). NOTE: My biggest concern, is if we decide to use the dump/load upgrade/migration strategy and we run into an overwhelming amount of issues / errors... then we open a Case with Sybase, will someone say... Hey! Why did you use the dump/load strategy, you should've used sqlupgrade utility? I'm assuming this will never be the case. I just wanted to do my homework and make sure that I've covered all bases. :) I'm trying to find the best way to make a final decision, and/or learn if there is a rule of thumb when making this kind of decision (deciding whether to use the dump/load strategy vs. sqlupgrade utility). What are your thoughts? Thank you, Susan L. P.S. Please forgive me if this my questoin are similar to the questions I asked several days ago. My goal is more focused on any errors/issues, which people may have run into while using either upgrade/migration strategy. I apologize if my question is redundant.

Loading a DB Dump from an ASE 12.5.3 load into ASE 15 remaps TABLE ID's but causes issues for Procedures
