Firstly Informix can do everything that Oracle can do and many things Oracle cant do, ( such as Time Series, Geodetic Functions, Hierarchical structures etc )so functionally its a much richer product. The real advantage is that it is much easier to set up ( particularly in a clustered environment) and once set up it requires almost no DBA resource to manage it. There are documented cases of Informix working untouched for decades ! Informix users call it " Set it and Forget it" Informix is also incredibly hardware efficient, so can often match an Oracle workload on 50% of the computing resource ( Saving hardware spend, software spend and energy spend ) Now this is great news for users, but bad news for DBAs and equally bad news for hardware manufacturers, no wonder Oracle DBAs always try to scupper any interest in Informix and IBM really dont like to publisise Informix much. Theres some interesting information at www.freeinformix.com
Informix is known for its high performance, scalability, and reliability, making it suitable for handling large volumes of data in real-time environments. It offers advanced features such as data compression, built-in replication, and support for ACID transactions. Additionally, Informix has a low administrative overhead, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses.
