Hi,
Thank you for your interest in feature comparison results.
You're right results are a bit outdated - we run comparison every so
often and do not update it each time release is made for all databases.
We'll schedule updating results for Informix but I would not expect this
to happen very soon.
Also is is easy to do such comparison yourself- crash-me suite is open
source tool which you can download from our web site.
