Dark Forces At Work
Robert Taylor announced he was leaving the newsgroup to move to Oracle. Thomas Parsli and Steven Hauser joked in reply, Hauser saying he would miss dbschema, easy parallel processing and the architecture. Peter Wiley said Oracle 8i was perhaps a tenth as good, while wildpony claimed Oracle was ten times better. A light-hearted farewell with no technical question.

HEH, you will soon miss dbschema, easy parallel processing
(no more just set vcpu to (n host cpu) -1 )
and sensible architecture.

It's not. Maybe 1/10 as good. And yes I am using the 'latest & greatest' 8i release. Lucky I still have my personal Informix systems to develop/maintain stuff on. Nobody here seems to be mentioning much Java stuff, though, still 4GL. Oh well, back to the other n/gs. Peter Wiley
