In your dreams....

The IIUG said:

"IDS 10 - IBM's flagship database for pure OLTP and Industrial-strength,
embedded computing"

Unh? What's the problem?

It's not on the website if you follow the front-page through products.


I did find it if you take the IIUG link:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/ids10/

Informix(r) Dynamic Server (IDS) Version 10.0 is IBM's newest data
server for pure OLTP and industrial-strength, embedded computing.

Thankfully the word 'flagship' is missing. This must be a special page
made just for the IIUG.

:-)

Try it yourself, start at www.ibm.com and see if you can link to the
same page the IIUG link points to. It's as if they gave the IIUG a link
that isn't shown if you come in the front page.

Taking the front page you end up here:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/ids/

Slightly different but it's a dead end--you can't find a link to
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/ids10/

Very sneaky! Throw 'em a bone!

You can thank him for the Trial timeout feature too, that was his baby.
