I think if you read the latest Gartner reports, you'll see that Informix databases are way ahead of their time, and probably too far evolved even for Klingons. Besides, if someone DID mess up the time continuum and changed the Klingon's evolutionary path, why didn't they just do a point-in-time recovery from archive?
