Insider Profiles Tammy Frankforter

Q: How do you use Informix in your "real" job (DBA, Consultant, Developer, etc.)?
A: I'm a DBA for the Anchorage School District. We use Informix with our 3rd party ERP application, and for some in-house development too.
 
Q: How long have you been using Informix products?
A: I've been happily using Informix since 1997.
 
Q: What is your role on the IIUG Board?
A: I like to write and will be helping Gary with the Insider, for starters. Beyond that I don't have a specific role yet.
 
Q: Why did you volunteer to be on the board?
A: When I heard that June Hunt was not up for re-election, I figured the Board needed a replacement female to help keep Stuart in line.
 
Q: What do you want to accomplish this year on the Board?
A: Having worked on the IIUG conferences and as a school district employee, my heart really belongs to education. I want to focus on the educational (and networking) opportunities for the IIUG community. I'd also like to contribute to the information exchange between the user community and IBM by being part of the writing/editing team for IIUG publications.
 
Q: Where are you from?
A: I am originally from Colorado, but have lived in Alaska for most of my adult life.
 
Q: Best Informix story?
A: I frequently use Tech Support as one example of how awesome Informix is. I don't have to call for help very often, but when I do I've gotten immediate response. I think that speaks to the reliability of the product as well as to the quality of the support team. It's unbeatable.
 
Q: Worst Informix nightmare.
A: I have occasional nightmares about newbie developers and either long transactions or Cartesian products, especially involving large tables and ORDER BY's. Other than that, I sleep really well.
 
Q: Can you tell us about your family and hobbies outside of IIUG?
A: My family lives in Colorado. I like showing them around Alaska or meeting them in warmer locations. My favorite year-round hobby is scuba diving. I also enjoy summertime hiking, camping, and sea kayaking.
