RE: RE: anything like MS-SQL

The last feedback I got from IBM regarding project Arrowhead: "In the long term, IBM committed themselves to, what they call the Informix Arrowhead vision, which will integrate the best of IDS, XPS, Redbrick and DB2 into a single database, to solve the next-generation challenges for "e-business on demand" The base for this convergence will be DB2UDB, which has already been developed by IBM for this purpose. The Arrowhead vision will be a multi-year effort, and the emphasis will not only be on Informix, but also XML, web services and autonomic computing." -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Art S.

Since DB2's architecture is similar to IDS8 in the way it handles distributed databases in a shared nothing environment, though IDS8 scles better than DB2, it is one main reason that IBM bought Informix I believe. The next release of DB2 is that merger also incorporating DB2's technology. A joining of three great servers. We can hope. Art S. Kagel > Umm...
