Call from Informix (FYI)

[Michael T. Babcock]

For what its worth, I got a call from Informix (now part of IBM) yesterday doing a survey on customer opinion of their products vs. IBM's own DB2 product, Microsoft's SQL Server and Oracle 9i in terms of knowledge of the products, possibility of using them in the future, success in the past, and opinion of each company.

They also offered a "name any other DB products you use on a regular basis" and the surveyer in question now understands that MySQL != MS SQL (which he thought it was) and that there are still users of various Pick database implementations (we use JBase and D3 in-house and at client sites quite extensively).

I thought it was interesting and that some might enjoy knowing ...
