ALL: I can positively assert that according to a blind independent study of a statistically significant group of customers and business partners around the world, they are surely NOT migrating away from Informix in droves. In fact, 80% of respondents, in this survey which has been conducted and re-validated over several quarters, state that they are staying with IBM. Of those, a measurable percent have considered DB2; in many cases, that consideration is due to a particular ISV application that works with DB2 UDB, not that IBM is forcing them to look.

Yes, but staying with IBM is not necessarily the same as staying with Informix products...

Not all customers are staying with IBM nor Informix. Unfortunately (for me as well) our company has decided to switch to Oracle...
