Who's the clown who tried to mark this thread as "SPAM"? IBM? Oh well if you look at its history you'll find that it at times had been both. I seem to recall IBM having to print a full page ad apologizing for something they did.... ;-) But the point of this thread was Terry Ralph. You know, the guy you remember? ;-) He did some things while at Informix that had Informix not been acquired, could have lead to some very promising results. What I've been suggesting/preaching, Terry had also been suggesting.
