I worked for DHL until 2008, and informix was a big chunk of their databases... I'd say now they have 1/3 of each (Informix, Oracle, SQL)... they do have DB2 but on mainframe... But on a related topic, I'd like to repeat a comment I made on Ian's shout out to Jerry K... I will be changing my lightsaber from blue to red, and my nick to Darth Fandelau... my boss just told me that he'll be sending me to Oracle school... 13 years working with nothing but informix... nice run, huh? I guess all good things must come to an end... Thanks IBM! See y'all in the Dark Side... Ramon Soon to be AKA Darth Fandelau :o(
