I am interested seeing a feature by feature comparison of > PostgresSQL and Informix. there was a very excellent case study, written by cc'd person, that is unhappily not available at the moment. see: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-advocacy/2005-08/msg00147.php (maybe try contacting author or the open source db migration people) see also: http://www.spec.org/jAppServer2004/results/res2007q3/ also consider that sun is backing postgresql, and that informix is looking more and more like a legacy platform. not to bash informix though...but if postgresql meets your requirements it is a great db to ship out for licensing reasons, etc. merlin ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
