LoL... I am relaxed! I'm SO RELAXED I COULD EXPLODE! Just kidding :) Yea, I know. I was poking fun, mainly at IBM. I'm not at all convinced of THEIR loyalty to their product. I've said it before... If IBM put as much marketing into INFORMIX that they do into DB2, or as much as Oracle does into its products, then my chances of re-employment after I'm done here are MUCH higher.

I've had to erase and delete so much already, it's really a struggle. :-) _______________________________________________

you've seen DB2 marketing? I see lots of brochures with the DB2 brand name on them but I don't really see any marketing of DB2 UDB

They were very explicitly about DB2 UDB v8, although deep within the text there were two "me-too" mentions of Informix and one of Cloudscape.
