Re: Anyone used the MetaCube product?

MetaCube is now an Informix company. We are using it for a very large data warehousing project. The product looks very exciting and is/will be an integral part of our enterprise data warehouse architecture. We are one of the largest Informix sites here in the Southwest with apporx 100GB of OLTP data. The DW we are building will be between 500 and 1000 GBs. Contact your Informix Sale Rep that's what I did. ====================================================================================== Nils.Myklebust@ccmail.telemax.no wrote: >> mjgator@aol.com (Mjgator) writes: >> Just received the latest version of Informix Training schedule and, >> indeed, there is training for MetaCube.
