Re: Informix Datablades - better than other WEb-DB middleware

The Greenspun book can be found at http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/wtr/dead-trees/index.html (you search for books via http://www.amazon.com) and the discussion of the Informix web datablade at http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/wtr/dead-trees/53012.htm I would like to see comments on this from any other users of the web datablade. If what Greenspun says is true Informix badly need to design a new web datablade. With all the activity going on out there it shouldn't be that hard to do it substantially better. If it's as bad as it seems they should remember to forget compatibility and design something realy good. peter@prospect.anprod.csiro.au (Peter Wiley) wrote: :In article <01bc9201$87c1d120$910101c0@bis005003> "Allen Graetz" <allengraetz@usa.net> writes: :> :>I'm in the process of writing an evaluation of Allaire's Cold Fusion and :>Borland's IntraBuilder.
