Just from a look at things... There's Rational and there's Oracle. Rational
isn't a Relational Database engine. Apples to Oranges comparison. Not to
mention that You have to buy a minimum number of seats....

Search for Informix ... not on the page.
Click on the drop down under "Software" titled "Software by brand"
DB2 is there.
Is Informix not an IBM software brand?
Where does one find Informix pricing?

PS: The minimum number of seats is 5. If you need less than 5 seats
consider 3x5 cards.

Wow... I have you in greater consideration than this...
I've already answered in another post, but this has to be clarified:

In the same drop down box, click on "Information/Management"... You'll get a
pretty flash banner showing IDS 11... A product by IBM if you're kind enough to
acknowledge... Then click on Database Servers... You'll get DB2 Family,
Informix Family, U2 Family (not Bonno related...) and IMS...

As for the minimum seats...

In Oracle Database Enterprise Edition (the same price you were comparing), I
see 25 + server license...
5 is for Standard Edition...

I think we all have web access... maybe some of us should put glasses on?!
