Doug:
Let me point out an alternative perspective. An ISV's job is to sell
our applications. If we can't compete in our business marketplaces, we
need to make adjustments or look at alternatives. Competition mostly
means we need to offer a product that benefits our customers at a price
that is usually less than our competitors. From my perspective, your
statement that you pay "much higher rates for Oracle and Microsoft"
databases doesn't apply to my experiences. In fact, a number of our
competitors use Microsoft technology and have much lower deployment
costs in the small business environment than we do. I'm only saying my
experiences differ from yours on this point, which is critical to our
business.

This is one the few times, I can remember, I agree with Tony. Our job as
programmers is to develop code. We write code in UniBasic, JavaScript,
HTML, PHP, .Net, or whatever. We still in the end have our data stored in
on of Rocket Software's databases (Unidata or Universe).
We have worked hard at U2logic to remove as much of the user interface (UI)
from our basic code has possible since we moved to the web 10 years ago.
We tried RedBack and that worked for a time. We then wrote our own
middleware called U2WebLink long before Rocket U2 dreamed of connection
pools for UniObjects.
Try as we might, we are unable to major changes in the direction of
development or licensing of Rocket U2. Either you live with it, or you
figure out how to change Rocket U2's policies, or pay much higher rates for
Oracle and Microsoft to have their databases.

Doug
