Ray Lane says: "Informix tried to buy disparate products and smash them together. Larry jokes about how impossible that is. He says, "if you want a boat to fly, you simply tie an airplane to it." That's what it tried to do with Illustra." See the whole interview here: techweb.cmp.com I guess you can't blame him for trying but...gimme a break!!!

Personally I still do not think that IUS is not a well designed technology. I do not agree with the architecture and am still willing to debate it. I will be at JavaOne this week and will check out what IFMX has to offer. For those that don't know, JavaOne is the worldwide Java developers conference. If you are not there or exibiting you are simply not a player in the Java market. Lets see how knowledgable the IFMX (SYBS, ORCL, etc...) folks manning the booth are. (SI)syborg
