Here's the quote . . . . International Business Machines Corp. IBM.N unseated Oracle as the overall leader in total new database software sales with its acquisition of mainframe database vendor Informix in 2001. The company, along with Microsoft Corp. MSFT.O , has also been making gains at the low-end of the modern database market that Oracle has dominated. Here's the link . . . http://asia.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=technologyNews&storyID=3408733 I didn't know that Informix was a mainframe company . . . .8-)
