Hi All, Since we have a new version 11.7 which can compete with Oracle and MSSQL, is IBM doing the best they can do to market the Informix Database? I want to know what are the moves being done by IBM.. I still believe, Informix is the best DB engine ever built...

With Informix it is easier to learn also. I learned DBMS concepts easily and quicly with Informix than oracle. For me Informix is Simply the Best & Love at first sight.
