It talks about market share in 2003.

Here is how the market share of Informix was reached.

In 2003, total license sales of RDBMS on Unix/Linux was 2.34 billion dollars. Informix's share was 140 million. That makes it 5.98%.

Flame: RDBMS on Windows amounted to 2.79 billion. That means database sell more on windows than on Unix. So much for MS being crap in OS. Received on Sun Nov 27 2005 - 17:09:54 CST
