I'm sure there will be a very sweet migration path from a to b. Then the world of four will be three: DB2, Oracle, and Sql*Server.

Trying to find this info out via the web has been VERY time consuming. Are there any compelling reasons for using Informix over Oracle, or visa versa? Thanks. -w __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo!
