Re: Informix business grew by double digits in 2006 (Q1+Q2)
Could the increase be because of companies like mine that are coming off of legacy contracts and are now having to pay a price more then 200% what we have paid in the past? Two ways to get to this number; Increase sales or price... "IDS license revenue grew by double digits in the first half of 2006" I still think informix is a great product... We are still trying to free the application from the database server here. In time it will happen. Eric B. Rowell >Looks like our dear ol Informix is alive and kicking well.

We have customers like that, coming of the back of multi-year deal and now renewing support and are not happy that it is has gone up, but 200% seems a bit steep :-) Paul Watson Tel: +44 1414161772 Mob: +44 7818003457 Web: www.oninit.com GO FURTHER with DB2 GET THERE FASTER with Informix.

It doesn't seem likely, since IBM classes licence revenue completely separately from maintenance revenue, which is what you typically sign a multi-year deal for.
Thank you for the clarification I missed that. I know that I was told there was a really BIG networking company now using Informix so we hope for the best...
