Looking for feedback on Illustra, Datablades

Hello, We are currently working on a feature article covering the Illustra database system and the Datablade technology. The article focuses mainly on how Web developers are using Illustra to solve site development and management problems. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who uses Illustra and the Datablade modules--particularly the Web Datablade. We are also interested in how developers are using the other Datablades, of course, and in how developers are combining Datablades to achieve the results they want. If you have previous experience integrating Informix, Oracle, Sybase, etc. with Web servers, so much the better--any information you could provide on how Illustra compares in terms of reliability, ease of integration, etc. will be helpful. Please reply by email, unless of course you don't mind making your opinons public. All comments will be kept unattributed, unless you grant permission for us to use them with attribution. Thanks again for your help. We want this feature to provide accurate, timely information to Web developers and programmers, and users are a source of information we simply cannot get anywhere else.
