I would question the life-cycle of Cognos 'QUIZ'. I've heard rumors
they're leaving their flagship host-based product behind and are pushing
their Client-Server products:
Impromptu/Query Server/Power-Play
anyway. I wouldn't look for many more upgrades along the tradtional:
Quiz/Quick/QTP/Dictionary
lines.
They're also have trouble with Borland's Interbase (formerly Starbase) and
are 'nudging' (wink-wink) Oracle when they can.
Cognos and Computer Associates are splitting the blanket as we speak, with no
more support by CA for QUIZ :(
