Mr Sidwell,

I'm interested in the fact that you do not put the standard disclaimer about not speaking for your company on your posts. Does this mean that you are the official Oracle spokesman?

I purchase and handle problems with Informix, Oracle, Sybase, and SQL SERVER database engines, and I'll admit that I've sometimes had problems deciding which engine to choose for special projects. Your input as an official Oracle spokesman may be very helpful for **all** of us here in c.d.i.

I propose the following database decision rule:

	If you want chest-beating, word-play, and sniping, choose Oracle.
	If you want performance, professionalism, and cordiality, 
             choose Informix.

Your attack-dog attitude will totally mask any valid contributions that you may add to the discussion. Even when you may be telling the truth, I for one will have to evaluate it in light of the professionalism of your approach.

Joe (not speaking for anyone but myself) Lumbley
