Fernando. Bernie Spang is in competent. We've known this since 2006. Incompetence in Senior Management? Hmmm. Oh the stories I could tell. ;-) Incompetence in reporting? It was a fluff piece. They printed whatever garbage was thrown out. The truth? Add some of the shared nothing distributed framework of XPS in to IDS. Do it soon. When I update my resume in Jan 2010, you'll understand. ;-) > From: domusonline@gmail.com > Subject: Re: DB2 and Oracle -- where's Informix? > Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:09:34 +0100 > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > Ian Michael Gumby wrote: > > Incompetence? > > > > Naw...
