   TECHNOLOGY LEADERS INFORMIX AND SAP MOVE TO DELIVER ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS
   ON LINUX

   -- Informix Dynamic Server and SAP R/3 Forge New Ground For Linux --

   CeBIT, Hannover -- March 18, 1999 -- InformixŽ Corporation (NASDAQ: IFMX),
   the technology leader in enterprise database-powered solutions and award
   winning Linux vendor, today announced joint efforts within the SAP
   initiative to deliver SAP R/3 on Linux. The partnership will have SAP's R/3
   fully supported on Informix Dynamic Server^Ů, Linux Edition Suite and
   available to mutual customers.

   "Informix helped to spark the Linux revolution in the enterprise several
   months ago when we launched the first commercial database for Linux," said
   Bob Finocchio, chairman and CEO of Informix.  "Today, through our joint
   efforts with SAP, Linux becomes even more mainstream and reaches a new level
   in supporting mission-critical business operations."

   SAP expects to release R/3 on Linux in the third quarter of 1999.  Once
   general availability is announced, an SAP R/3 and Informix Dynamic Server,
   Linux Edition Suite bundle will be available through traditional SAP
   distribution channels.

   "The demand for R/3 on Linux has been impressive, easily exceeding our
   expectations," stated Horst-Udo Schulte, director corporate alliance
   Informix at SAP AG. "Because high performance databases like Informix
   Dynamic Server are already commercially available for development, we are
   able to deliver our products on Linux very quickly.  We believe the
   combination of SAP and Informix on Linux makes a very attractive enterprise
   solution."

   Informix was the first major database vendor to deliver product on Linux.
   International distribution of Informix products on Linux has exceeded
   expectations with more than 175,000 copies of Informix databases on Linux
   distributed over the last six months.

   "Informix has been ahead of the Linux curve for some time now," said Janet
   Smith, director of product marketing and management at Informix.  "Because
   the Informix databases and tools have been available for months, we're able
   to move past the product delivery phase and concentrate on developing
   multiple channel and software partnerships.  The relationship with SAP is
   one of our most significant partnerships."

   with a potent, enterprise-class, easily managed database architecture with
   excellent price performance and developer support.  Informix Dynamic Server
