RE: Let me be the first...remember the race car?

Slightly off topic, but marketing related.... See page 19 of Database Trends and Applications September 2006. If you don't get the hard copy, try this link: http://www.dbta.com/ toward the upper right area where they want you to subscribe, there is a link: "To view current and archived editions of Database Trends and Applications, click here." Which takes you to "http://www.dbta.com/cgi-bin/archives"; This is an online copy of the hardcopy.... Choose dropdown to page 19...... an ad for IIUG... nice big ad. Oddly enough, flip the page, page 21 has an ad for 2006 PASS (SQLserver Users conference) Flip the page again... page 23 has an ad for IOUG (Oracle user group). One more page flip (page 25) brings you to a smaller ad for a DB2 book, ... Nice to see the race car again!

As if they really get any attention beyond VARs reading them, if at all. There needs to be a major magazine, preferably one like eWeek, or ComputerWorld that this appears in. I'm hoping against hope that if it indeed does show up in one of these that the writing will be better, and the new features more clearly articulated, because CRN gives anyone the idea that Informix just now got row-level locking. In most circles record-level and row-level are used interchangeably. Even Sybase gets more news these days. Head over to ComputerWorld or eWeek and you'll see. And Sybase was the one that didn't have row-level locking until around 2000 or so. Now Informix has to fight yet another feature perception that wasn't there! _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _______________________________________________ Informix-list mailing list Informix-list@iiug.org http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list ============================================================ The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
