At one point, in the (computer) distant past, Datastage and UniVerse shared the same source code.
When IBM picked up the database business from Informix, a part of the agreement was that Ascential kept a copy of the UV source code to continue to develop the Datastage engine. In saying that, Datastage has moved along a different path, focusing on the ETL issues and expanding its functionality while UniVerse is still a Database engine. Of course, Datastage still allows the use of things such as Hashed File stages (Dynamic files) for temporary storage, but with all it's added parts, it is a different beast. It's like comparing a seal with a dog. In the distant past, both are related but they both play in very different arenas.
