Informix

Hi ,

To HCL,

It's very sad, after 21 years after IBM bought Informix, I still hear (read) from other IT companies this:

"We've also been hearing that Informix might reach end-of-life soon, which would be something we'd have to consider as we think about a native integration."

I'm researching a tool to make and maintain a decent data dictionary of our databases where Informix is our main database.
All the major players on the market for this type of tool either do not support Informix or have very poor and limited support.

I have no problem asking them if they can implement better support to allow us to consider purchasing the product.
The quote above was a response I got from one of these vendors...

It's about time that HCL invests a little in marketing Informix to at least say that Informix is still alive. , is not??
