Currently I am running UNIFY on a 4.2BSD minicomputer. It does the
job well, using many C functions within the application.
Others in the area are interested in also implementing INFORMIX for it's
additional virtues (:-)). Discussions are in progress; primary input
being from sales personnel and possibly-biased users. I would appreciate
some real-world input from users. Not really hot about having multiple
packages running in the area. Not too conducive to information sharing.
Among my questions:
Has anyone worked with both to give unbiased :-) input for:
- Database size capabilities
- Ease of development for programs
- Overall power, flexibility
- Speed of data retrieval
- Support
- Reliability (lights just flickered...oops!)
Thanks in advance for your input.
