Note the versions -- Informix 5.0 is hardly current, neither is Oracle 7.0, neither is Sybase 4.9, and I'm not sure what relation Ingres II is to Ingres 6.4 beyond being different. It doesn't cover DB2 or MS SQL Server either. Thus, this is only barely a starting point; it is certainly not an accurate comparison of current releases. I seem to remember seeing this when it was first released, and not being wholly convinced by the claims made for Informix even then. I recognize that Ganesh didn't make any claims beyond 'this might help you', but be careful.
