D.A. Just because someone doesn't flaunt his credentials doesn't mean that he isn't here. (P.S.

I only found two posts in which you didn't bring up DB2. Pot = Kettle = Black eh. It is not that "Daniel wants to discuss DB2 stuff" but rather that "Daniel" thinks IBM should build those compatibility features into Informix too so that Informix can be deployed under all of those applications from which it seems it is being intentionally orphaned. In fact one a reasonable person might wonder why someone involved in "DB2 Solutions Development" is here but someone from IDS Solutions Development is not. Don't you allow them out in public any more? <g> Come on out to OpenWorld. With more than 45,000 people there no one will notice your blue suit. <g> -- Daniel A.
