On Informix? Not many. Mostly there I spent time taking financial shops banking systems in to a small concise datamart so we could roll their assets and liabilities up in to tiny buckets of like instruments and then run intrest rate risk analysis... Or writing applications to help manage a bank's OBS portfolio. On DB2? One back in the mid 90's. But I wasn't a DBA, I was baby sitting the SP2 it resided on. At the time it was just over 2TB and growing... On Oracle? A couple. Unfortunately I can't talk about those. Sorry. But hey! What do I know? I'm just keeping the world safe from people who blindly follow their GPS Nav systems from driving in to the drink! -G > Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:30:46 -0500> From: paul@oninit.com> Subject: Re: Informix Positive Post #2> To: informix-list@iiug.org> > Ian Michael Gumby wrote:> > LOL!> > > > First, I guess Mark never bothered to honor the terms of an NDA.> > > > There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding about IBM.
