Eweek has on page 36 of the October 23, 2006 print edition an article titled
"IBM debuts new server type". It's about a mythical server that will do ETL
built into the "engine", whatever that is. Sounds like bullsh but who knows.

In the center of the article a highlight box with "IBM's on-demand headlines".

"Cheetah running"

"IBM's IDS ( Informix Dynamic Server ) data server, code-named Cheetah, is due
in 2007. IBM says the relational data server will deliver fast OLTP ( online
transaction processing ), high reliability and nearly hands-free administration."

I about fell out of my chair when I saw Informix in an Eweek article, and it
wasn't being slammed or slighted. Holy sh.

( I checked it hasn't made it to the web yet. )

So maybe the "marketing blitz" you referred to in your other thread is
starting to roll out?

Looks like an attempt to get into the ETL game. There are indeed better tools
out there than Data Stage, IBM is really reaching at this point. It would be
nice to see them put the same effort into Informix marketing, that would be
really worth seeing.
