It isn't on the Smalltalk end of the OO scale, though, it's closer to C++. But it's pretty good. The Illustra stuff blew me away. The big plus that Informix have is that they're integrating the OO stuff from Illustra into their OnLine engines, so you can get blistering OLTP / PDQ performance alongside all the OO technology. > This is probably a FAQ question, so if you know where the FAQ is >please include it in your reply.
