The move of the HP, SUN and IBM/AIX to SMP architectures was an obvious factor in the success of Informix 6.x and 7.x product. It allowed performance to scale. The fact that from the app there was no way to tell the number of real cpu on a machine ment no change to the way of doing business, another advantage in the acceptance of the product. Oracle still does not scale well on multiple CPU arch.
