Is there really a significant different in performance for standard RDBMS applications between IFMX and ORCL? I'm really asking. I know that each company publishes benchmarks that should that they are the fastest, but do people that write database applications actually find a significant performance difference? IFMX has invested heavily in datablades, which strike me as being the wrong technology, although they are frequently touted on this thread as being another advantage. There is the general perception, which I guess I share because I don't have any real knowledge of it, that IFMX is a faster RDBMS, but I do know about "object technology" and I discount the "datablade advantage" almost entirely...
