Actually, I did once hear that datablades were one of the technologies IBM most wanted from Informix. Not quite sure why since DB2 has long had extenders - but it was suggested that the Informix implementation was in some way architected differently (better)? Might have been a baseless rumour, might have been factual. Anyone know more about what the difference in approach to extenders is, between Informix and DB2? DG

IMHO, the primary difference is that IDS allows you to create your own indexing technology, DB2 doesn't. -- Ciao, The Obnoxious One "Ogni uomo mi guarda come se fossi una testa di cazzo"
