As a user of a Britton-Lee and a user of Informix as well as
Informix-SQL as well as a former user of Unify I would like to
add my thoughts that I'd love to hear from various database (
software and hardware ) folk with TECHNICAL plugs for their
product(s). Let's hear debate about the performance per dollar ( how
about that one Ingress ) the various methods of networking
databases ( Oracle , Ingress how about it ), or about the actual
communications interface ( how about that XNS stuff Britton-Lee )
and a whole lot more. 

I don't want to see a whole lot of drivel from vendors - but it
might be darned useful to hear about new concepts and features
from the vendors here where we could poke around at them
collectively rather than isolating us one at a time at a show or
a sales call.
