Not by you. The PHP driver is also the result of some smart, Informix minded people. The success of the road shows is based on the enthusiasm and technical knowledge of Mark Scranton. The "Oracle to Informix Migration Toolkit" - interesting but I couldn't find any press coverage about that - is the result of the pressure of some big customers asking IBM to implement this. IDS Express might be your baby but the DB2 guys outdated you as always with this offer: http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/68816 Christine, open news.google.com and search for "Informix". Then you can see the results of your marketing work, period.
