RE: DB2 and Informix showing solid growth

Yes, nice article. Mentions IDS, but Spang focuses on DB2. Hint to Jerry K. : Its not the sales numbers, but that we don't have a lot of "wins" to talk about. Informix/IDS is still the industry's dirty little secret. Its growing in spite of Spang. 8^P I walked in to a friend's company. Microsoft shop. Of course they're running their Lawson on Oracle. (*shock*) When talking about databases, I mentioned one of the *few* publicly talked about IDS wins. You know where they could run all their db needs on IDS just for the cost of the energy for all the SQL servers... ;-) But beyond that, what can I say? Looking on the bright side... (and yes there is a bright side...) Spang didn't insert his foot in his mouth. Maybe that electric shock dog collar really did the job? -G > From: dcruncher4@aim.com > Subject: DB2 and Informix showing solid growth > Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 08:13:01 -0700 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Database/IBM-Database-Business-Keeps-Growing/ > > http://www.informix-zone.com/node/443 > > _______________________________________________ > Informix-list mailing list > Informix-list@iiug.org > http://www.iiug.org/mailman/listinfo/informix-list _________________________________________________________________ Going green?

There are a host of IDS success stories on the IBM website, 4 from last quarter http://www.ibm.com/software/success/cssdb.nsf/softwareL2VW?OpenView&Count=30&RestrictToCategory=dmmain_InformixDynamicServer
