that's 1.4% of all market. Informix does not run on mainframes or AS/400.

For e.g. Db2 and Oracle have almost same market share, around 33%. But the difference is that Db2 has almost all of it in mainframe and AS 400 platform and Oracle has it in LUW platform. I think Oracle's market share in Unix/Linux is around 70%. In 1996 Informix held 21% of Unix market share. I think that was its best ever market share. Does anyone know how much does Informix now have in LUW. I will be surprised if it is anything more than 5-7%. Received on Sun Nov 27 2005 - 10:52:06 CST
