When are these salespeople going to figure out that they're not attacking Informix Corp in this forum, but that they're irritating skilled database specialists who, when interested in the Oracle product, will take time to contact them directly? These guys ... *Sigh*. If they want to bug Informix they ought to run another of their slanted ads that compare throughput of Informix DOS products to the Oracle Unix or mainframe products.
