Hello, I am currently doing a comparison between Informix, IBM DB2 (UDB), and Oracle for use as a data warehouse on Unix. Can anyone with experience with these other databases give some comparative information? Thanks, John S.

Informix has just gained a new data warehouse product, DataStage, which will kill giants at 100 paces, John. Matti

John, you might add UniVerse to the list of databases to compare as the new Informix product from Ardent, Datastage for data warehousing, is based on UniVerse. It just might compare rather nicely to those flat databases.
