I assure you I am not flaming or trolling. I really think the main push to
consider Oracle has more to do with our Developement team crying for it
for years. There are lots of tools to make a developers job easier it
seems, and getting developers that know Oracle is supposedly easier.
Believe me, I am trying my best to fight them on this. I am not interested
in dealing with a harder to maintain database that doesn't handle our load
as well. Proving it to the management is another issue though.
If we do go to Oracle, it would probably be with RAC plus DataGuard, which
I think will cover most if not all of the same areas that Informix HA
stuff does, and I guess I can look at it as that I'll be learning a new
gig and getting more marketable.
I'm amazed at the controversy my little question sparked, and am reading
it all hoping to take in something of value. Your apparent thought that my
initial post was some sort flame is not something I expected however.

Daniel's pointing to the fact that IDS 11.10's MACH11 technology
implementation provides only READ-ONLY service from the SDS
secondaries. Other than that, a dubious advantage since using RAC
secondaries in read-write configurations reduces the cluster's
scalability significantly, there's nothing useful in RAC that's not in
MACH11.
Don't get me wrong, but I will prefer to see DA Morgan's answer...
Undoubtedly he will search the net in search for arguments. The last time I
bother to discuss something with him he found a lot of interesting stuff...
Unfortunately most of it was easily usable to show that he was wrong (from
prices to technical stuff) so he kept jumping from subject to subject,
constantly searching for something right to say ( whether or not it was
relevant to the original post).
So, although completely useless, because he will not stop, it's kind of fun
from time to time... And since I'm just doing some work related to IDS (and
replication by the way), it would be very interesting to me at this time...

And again... Checking an open beta does not mean we are saying them to move
into a non available product... It just means that the new version will
significant changes in this area. We are all bound to non-disclosureagreements
but it's very easy to find out what it is... Every version have a placewhere
we can see the changes... and a beta version is not an exception :).
