Informix vs The World
Hi, I am using Informix and I love it but I want to know if learning Oracle would be better for my career. Where can I find a no bullshit comparison of Oracle, Informix, Sybase, etc? I would like to know the basic comparisons with respect to maintenance issues, performance benchmarks, stability, tools, etc. Thanks, Ted Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Learn "RDBMS" technology using informix, then you are on top of all brands in the world. Like if you have seen one big city, you have seen all big cities.

I think you're going to have a hard time finding an unbiased comparison. I can tell you this, though. The more experience you have with more systems, the better it looks on a resume. Even if the company that's doing the hiring doesn't really need all of what you have, you're knowing more gives the employer more flexibility. For instance, say you know both database X and database Y. The company is using database X but is thinking of porting to database Y. Your experience with both will make it much easier for them to make that change. It also gives you more clout when you say 'No, don't use database Y, it sucks.' If you didn't know it, they'd just think you were trying to protect your job.
