Mark, your point about SQL extensions is different from the use of SQL3. SQL3 is a proposed future standard for SQL, which is very different from the SQL extensions that every RDBMS vendor supplies in order to make it easier to utilize the power if their DB. Its interesting that Informix will be supporting datablades written in Java, which I think is a great idea. This will cause Informix to incorporate a Java VM in the database kernel, otherwise each datablade would have to includeist own Java VM. If Informix standardizes on a single VM, will it be their own? If not who's would they use? Sybase is addressing this with its own VM in the DB. Support of Java in the DB, like Sybase and Oracle are already doing, will provide much more power and flexibility than SQL3. Do you know of any benchmarks done on IUS with datablades? I am curious to know what the overall impact is to performance. Not meant as a slam...Just trying to gain information. Dave...
