Informix as a company is in bad shape. The support we get is terrible, and when upgrading sometimes there own stuff has not been regression tested.

I think SQL server beats the pants off them in the GUI interface, ease of use, the cost, and the support that exists from Microsoft and hundreds of other MS related webites like Swynk.

Good luck with your implementation with whatever DB you decide.....Craig

Hi all,

Anyone here ever used the Informix database and can give me some differences between Informix and SQL.

One of our users is thinking about purchasing a COTS product that only supports an Informix database. I need to convince the user to evaluate other rival applications that can support SQL and need some arguments in favor of not going with Informix.

Any ideas appreciated,
Faustina
