The correlation exists. It is not the quality of the product, alone, that makes a product successful. And especially not the quality of a product 20 years ago. -- Daniel A.

Unfortunately those numbers are skewed because you'll find that for every posting, there are N companies posting about the same job. I know the Chicago market and I've literally get 5 calls for the same project routinely. (Not that I'm leaving my current gig. I'm working on the worlds largest geo spatial database... ;-) But whats worse is your analogy. When we talk about IDS being superior to Oracle, DB2, Sybase, SQLServer, MySQL, Postgress/Ingres, Progress, etc ... (Oh and lets not forget JavaDB/Derby (RIP cloudscape) ...) What we're talking about is the quality of the product. Try comparing a Porsche Cayman to a Ford Focus. Doesn't work does it. But there are a lot more Ford Focuses on the road than there are Porsches. _________________________________________________________________ More photos; more messages; more storage'get 5GB with Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_mini_2G_0507
