Yes a great link.
I am wondering who are those customers who actually bought 110 million dollars worth of new license of Informix. Are they existing customers buying new license as their business grew or totally new customers.
Also it is important to note that SQL Server grew by 18% despite not coming out with any new version. In fact in 2004 SS2000 was 4 yrs old. Tells a lot about it, right?
