Future Informix

Question

I am working on a system that works with Informix, and so I began to learn more about Informix. I am thinking about learning and getting Informix certification.

Do you think there is a future in Informix? Or should I try to learn more about Oracle or MySQL or some other popular database system?

Answer 1

I am focused - I have been working with Informix since 1986, and for Informix since 1990.

Paul @ If you know companies that need Informix developers, I will happily focus on Oracle's career!;)
