Sybase also uses >middleware, DB2 uses the same approach as Informix. True, but by the same token, this means that user written methods won't be running in the same address space as the server; and therefore, an errant user written method can't crash the database and possibly corrupt your data... It's a trade-off between performance and data integrity. Informix chose one route and Oracle apparently will choose the other... >Also, Informix DSA is a more modern architecture than Oracle I grant you this point...admittedly, it's multi-threaded server with support for async I/O seems alot cooler than Oracle's multi-process server... Basically, the point I was trying to make earlier is that both products are quite feature rich and the one you use is highly dependent upon your requirements.
