Depending on which newsgroup or forum you ask your question, your answer will vary :-). Ths is the bias factor that someone pointed out.
Here is my "objective set of rules".
I think both Oracle and Informix are great products. They would not have been such major players unless they were.
One word about support. I have had great support from Oracle, and as someone pointed out earlier, Oracle is less rigid than some other companies I know. Also, I have noticed that you get better support if you channel it through your oracle sales consultant (for more complex problems).
