Re: Informix Licensing and Pricing Schemes.
In a continuation of the licensing thread, DA Morgan and Obnoxio The Clown argued about whether Oracle DBAs are asked to take over DB2, SQL Server or IDS systems, and the exchange turned into personal insults with Two Pence. No licensing or technical content was added.

Perhaps you live in a cave. It is something that happens all of the time and I have taught Oracle DBAs to transition to DB2 and SQL Server manys times at quite a few companies. -- Daniel A.

And perhaps you're an arrogant tosser. Why are you sullying yourself with replying to me? I thought you'd put me in your killfile? -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche did i mention i like nulls? heck, i even go so far as to say that all columns in a table except the primary key could/should be nullable. this has certain advantages, for example, if you need to insert a child record and you don't have a parent row for it, just do an insert into the parent table with the primary key value (everything else null), and voila, relational integrity is preserved. but this is, admittedly, a bit controversial among modellers. --r937, dbforums.com
