govt use of informix has kept the product on life support for a while..

currently there is a movement to get legacy informix to migrate to oracle.

so with ibm's buy-out

I too believe informix will not likely see new updates of any consequence and will likely disappear over time..

In our projects/DBs -- we have used sybase, informix, SQL2000, oracle over time

sybase and informix are nearly completely phased out..only two projects left to migrate into SQL2000 or Oracle
