That's why I'm suggesting that you don't take that approach. Its suicide. But then again, if one bothered to review what I've said, there are other approaches which will be much more successful and only require a couple of million or so of an investment per year for a couple of years that will actually achieve something.... ;-) But hey, what do I know? I actually talked in depth with Terry Ralph on this long, long ago. Too bad Janet wanted to kill Informix. All good things got shelved and no one there today wants to make the effort to do the necessary leg work to put those ideas in to play. I mean seriously one person asks a question of another and when there's no response, the issue dies. Welcome to IBM politics.
