Mark Townsend, no matter where he posts, has the integrity to offer up his credentials: So does Serge. Why does this mystery Informix person feel compelled to hide. Are they shy or being censored? If there is someone here that can speak authoritatively about Informix please do so. To quote William Penn from Fruits of Solitude: "Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders, than from the arguments of it opposers." Some here defending Informix are not doing you any favors. -- Daniel A. Morgan University of Washington damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace x with u to respond)

I'm mean heck, its easy to confuse the fact that Boeing is now HQ'd out of Chicago, since they didn't move all of their manufacturing to IL, but c'mon. B of A is HQ'd out of Charlotte NC, and has operations all over the US, including Chicago. Same of AT&T which BTW is HQ'd in central NJ. When I bashed Oracle on their "global temp tables", I did so because they are not really temp tables at all. Like I said, try putting an index on a temp table when there's data in it. And note that while you can truncate your portion of the temp table, you can't control what others do. Yes Daniel, I do use Oracle 9i at the client. Why aren't they running 10? Cause with Oracle, its painful to migrate versions. Why doesn't IBM include more "Oracle like" features in IDS? Hmmm didn't they do that with IDS 11? Why doesn't IBM persuade more customers to migrate from Oracle? Hmmm. Ask Global Services... And didn't you bring up the point that IBM was the *largest* reseller of Oracle? The funny thing Daniel is that I talk to a lot of people who are Oracle bigots. They seem to be ill informed when it comes to what and where Informix is running. Thats not something I can do anything about. Nor is it my job or life's passion. I'll admit I love working with Informix because its a well engineered product. But I work with whatever products I'm paid to work with. The bottom line Daniel, you're a bit of a freak who posts here without knowing or using IDS. At least I use the products I talk about. _________________________________________________________________ You IM, we give. 'Make every IM count for the cause of your choice.
