Taken from IBM web site:- =========================================================================== The following Informix Dynamic Server Workgroup Unlimited editions have been added to the IBM Data Management Gold Transaction Processing Bundle for SMB Unlimited: IBM Informix Dynamic Server Workgroup Edition Unlimited V9.4 IBM Informix Dynamic Server 7 Workgroup Edition Unlimited V7.31 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Workgroup Edition Unlimited gives IBM small and medium sized customers an ideal enterprise database and is now available on a CPU-based license in addition to the existing client and server licensing model. Trade-up part numbers are available for IDS V7.x Workgroup Edition Unlimited to IDS V9.x Workgroup Edition Unlimited, and from IDS V7.x and V9.x Workgroup Edition Unlimited to the IBM Data Management Gold Transaction Processing Bundle for SMB Unlimited. ============================== If this is true, then it is a great news. How much does WGE cost per CPU. If the price is attractive, we can stay with Informix. Ravi

I would say it is an excellent deal. And the annual maintenance (first year maintenance is included in the license cost) is CND $2,400. However IBM site mentions that HDR is not allowed in WGS. I thought they allowed it in the past. I used it for Sears back in 1998/99. Without replication, there is a question mark on high availability. Does anyone know other replication methods. Wasn't there a product which goes for Trigger based replication or something.
