It also gives the company a more robust database to compete with software from Oracle, IBM, Informix Software and other database makers." Informix was mentioned there.... Anyway, something important in this article, is the Microsoft intention to go to the high-end. Informix left the small-medium market to Microsoft and now they're going to eat the other portion of the cake too! Is the high-end market growing up? I think that the small-medium market is the fastest growing with more database needs... How many big companies don't have a database server already? How may would choose Informix over Oracle/IBM/Sybase?
