However, there are some short comings with Informix mainly due to their marketing and sales effort. What exactly are you looking for? If you want a technical analysis of Informix based on their product(s) that's not a problem. If you are trying to determine if Informix is a buy/sell or short, thats another story. I do agree that the tech analysts on wall street do for the most part have their head up their proverbial asses when it comes to their research. They tend to follow trends rather than understand the products. (For example, Raptor systems). E-mail me if you want some more specific details. -Mikey (You have to remove the NOSPAM-MAPSON part.)
