"We work with tables that contain several billion rows. There is no way that Oracle or any of the competitors can work with that much information." -- Mike Mauro, Enterprise Data Warhousing Architect, U.S. Department of Defense But I guess they're not technically a company.

Now, I must say I disagree with your below statements tho, because I surely don't see companies using Informix. I live in the heart of the Silicon Valley, and there surely aren't any companies using Informix out here...at least very few are. You go to a site such as Dice.com, and do a search for Informix vs. Oracle in Northern CA and you tell me who has the market share :-)). (uh, 1,500 jobs for Informix, 13,000 for Oracle). Does that mean it will always be that way? Maybe DB2 will make a comeback, so whose to say. Honestly tho, I can't say I know Informix well enough to make a judgement, so I'll lay off on that one until I know better. mars1972@my-deja.com wrote: > In article <390E17D3.2882A065@yahoo.com>, > Nikita <Nikita@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Ability???? > > hahahahahahahah....that's funny too! > > Get real baby. > > If Oracle were purely hype, they would have been dead a long time ago, > just > > like Infomix. > > > > A large portion of Oracle's market share comes from government > contracts.
