[net.database] INFORMIX vs. UNIFY

ron@r2d2.UUCP (Ron Schweikert) (01/11/86)

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.
Ron Schweikert
