Gary,
 
 - Here Goes, ? to show you where I am not 100% sure ....
 
>>Could someone humor me for a few moments on the differences of Image/3000,
>>TurboImage, and Image/SQL? No detail answers, just a simple yes or no or even
>>better, a source to find the answers:
 
>>What is the difference between the three?
Image/3000 - Old version of Image database, with several limitations on size and
capacity
this was replaced by Turboimage in ..... T-Mit? .... on MPE
 
TurboImage - As for Image3000 but with limits greatly increased - Supported on
older
machines and newer MPE/XL & iX machines
 
Image/SQL - TurboImage with SQL connectivity extensions - you can connect a
TurboImage
database to a SQL DBE and make most accesses through normal SQL tools, only? on
MPE/XL & iX boxes. Is a chargeable option?
 
>>Is there a conversion process that needs to be done to get from one to
>>another?
Yes - Image/3000 to Turbo - DBCONV
       Turbo to SQL - Create DBE and perform field mappings
 
>>Are programs which access them affected(ie. code changes)?
Not if they are just using the standard calls to the DB... intrinsics
 
>>We've just installed MPE/ix 5.0 and would like to take advantage of the
>>dynamic dataset expansion with the latest product. Unfortunately, it seems the
>>conversion has not been done(one of our applications abended from a full
>>dataset).
DDX has to be enabled on each dataset required , either at DBSCHEMA time or
using  tools like ADAGER, DBGENERAL ..  other products are available.
 
Hope this helps, i'll let someone else tell you which documents to find more in.
