Re: Insider #65: Highlights: IIUG Board of 2006 elections, Informix

Well apparently my nomination was 'lost' - the email was not received. So I'm out of the race. Well I'll just have to raise hell in public in front of Oracle/MSSQL. So what the fuck is IBM doing about marketing Informix? Why are there no advert in the Financial Times? Oracle do! No full page Informix spreads in Computer Weekly? Why are the IIUG not publicly kicking IBM over this? Where are the offical IIUG posting on this? What are they doing? Fuck all? Carlton told us about Informix wins (a certain famous networking company) but I'm being told to keep quiet? A certain telephone switch manufacturer but again I'm asked to keep quiet. Can IIUG chase IBM on this for me? And I want to hear the response in public...here. And the big Euro 2006 (or whatever soccer event). IBM will have chips in the ball and players boots and realtime tracking all via an IDS database. Where is the publicity that IBM beat (who?) to this? That was mentioned at the UK Usergroup meeting but we were not asked by Michelle to keep quiet about it! Can the IIUG ask IBM about this? Where is the publicity for IDS? Don't give me crap about IBM not publishing product marketing..what about DB2 that is a product and is being marketed!

Have you tried UPDATE STATISTICS?
