Gentle erosion of Informix customers to SQL Server or occasionally to Oracle (but *never* to DB2), punctuated by occasional larger bursts as a large ISV such as Elite receommends the switch to its customers. > Are there more opportunities or less? I had trouble with this, as that sentence does not parse at all. But taking a wild guess that you meant to ask "Are there more (Informix) opportunities or fewer?", the answer is fewer. > In what areas are you seeing growth of opportunities? Requests for consultancy on how to migrate existing 4GL code. I'm-in-the-shit emergency calls from people who long ago let Informix support lapse. > Erosion of opportunities? In almost every other area. > What part of the world are you working in?
