I know its out there, just have not run into it. Whilst we are on this subject I would like to know how informix is doing against DB2 in the markets where they compete in terms of numbers and installed base. I would also like to know what %age of old informix customers have taken the plunge to move...its difficult to determine this information of course....being a cynic I might say that is because the numbers are embarrassing...If they were not, I am sure they would be plastered everywhere. long time informix bigot. Unashamedly so. sending to informix-list
