Well, Informix is cheaper than Oracle (by one order of magnitude :-) However, Oracle's SQL parser implementation is more up to date than Informix's (IMHO); and their support is better, at least here in NZ - YMMV depending on where your are. Having used both for more than a couple of years, I'd have to say the Oracle's overall package feels(!) slicker than Informix's - although this may be due to better marketing more than anything else. -- Jonathan Chen | E-mail : jonc@pinnacle.co.nz #include <std/disclaimer> | Voice : +64.9.489.7020
