If u read it correctly, it is not my rant. I just mentioned what I have been told. I have never worked with Oracle to make that comment. As a matter of fact I am bit skeptical of that claim myself. here is my old posting in c.d.i.

Is this true??? Is Oracle that much behind Informix in performance. Somehow I find this difficult to believe.
How many users out here believe that Informix is way ahead of Oracle in performance.
If you want to read reponse to my question above, here it is: http://tinyurl.com/2zc9o

I am sure you will point out independent published results which 'supports' that Oracle can give 10x performance over SQLServer, which we are all suppose to believe from ur experience.
I remember the last time we had some debate on TCO by IDC, u were questioning it. I am convinced that you can never be satistfied by any evidence against Oracle. So why bother?
I take this opportunity to apologize if I wrote anything nasty against you. C'mon this is not life and death for us. I mourn the death of Informix, but I am sure I can move on to other technology, even if it is inferior. After all I have my bills to pay.
