Oracle's stock dropped almost 30% in the first hour of trading today after they announced disappointing earnings. By 10:30 EST they had been downgraded to neutral by 3 brokerages and their trading volume was almost 10 times their average. Maybe Informix should start making upgrade offers to Oracle customers who are worried about the continued viability of Oracle ;) Joe -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Lumbley(jlumbley@netcom.com) author of: "INFORMIX DBA Survival Guide" Slaving away on "INFORMIX DEBUGGERS Survival Guide", available early 1998 from Prentice Hall/Informix Press.
