eWEEK Labs on IBM-Sun: Databases Would Feed Off Each Other
eWEEK Labs on IBM-Sun: Databases Would Feed Off Each Other: "So, one might assume that IBM would do the same thing with MySQL, continuing it as a separate product. MySQL, in turn, could inherit some technology from DB2 and even Informix.
However, according to a report in late 2007, six years after the acquisition of Informix, the number of Informix installations dropped drastically, to 20,000, with no information from IBM about where these users went. (Did they migrate to IBM’s own DB2 product? Did they switch to a competing product from Oracle or Microsoft?)
Should MySQL customers worry that they might find themselves forced to choose another product?"

That report about the drop in Informix users/installations was false. The reporter had confused the number of Informix installations with the number of members of the International Informix Users Group (IIUG) and even that number was inaccurate. The number of Informix installations has steadily increased since the IBM takeover in 2001.
There are actually over 100,000 customers uses Informix and millions of installations.
