I worked with oracle 6.5, 12 years ago, supporting an application I
received and its performace was _horrible_ (I don't blame oracle much
but the original developers). One of the things I had to frecuently
fight was with forms and pro*c applications that have huge querys...
very HUGE ones.

Then by a twist of fate we get rid of oracle applications and went to
informix... online 5 (old at that time) and what a difference...
and temporary tables of course... that was a wonder to me that time.

I firmly belive that oracle has evolved during these years and I really
don't know anything about recent oracle engines.


Oracle has improved a lot, specially after 8i. But it becomes amusing when
some Oracle DBA wants to pass off things like LMT (locally managed
tablespace) as something unique. AFAIK, informix right from version
5 was maintaining dbspaces locally. It had never followed stupid
dictionary managed tablespace.

Informix online 5.x is still excellent DB for medium sized applications.
I think it can easily handle 200-300 *concurrent* connections.
Pity that it has not gone open source. It can wipe out MySQL.
