Re: informix vs oracle

After working several years with Informix, we are planning to migrate to Oracle because the lack of support in Mexico. Just a couple of weeks ago we were going to migrate from one version to another so we asked Informix people to help us, and after a brief meeting, their conclusion was that "we knew more than them"..... I think Informix is a great database, but the lack of support it's a shame. I totally disagree with Mark because at least several companies in Mexico that have SAP with Informix, are planning to migrate to Oracle or Sql server. Also SAP has announced that they are not going to support Informix for Netweaver. And what about documentation ? There are only very old books about Informix compared with lots of documentation about Oracle. I think IBM is not doing a good job in supporting and positioning Informix.
