If you have not used Informix since the '80's, you are not even vaguely familiar with the Informix RDBMS (and New Era) of 1995. Although, it may not always be the appropriate choice, it is a strong contender with much technical merit. At times within the past five years, someone could easily have made the same comment about Oracle - inaccurately, as it turned out.
