I had a blog post in the hopper addressing that when my family issues hit. ANTs’ CEO says things that are IMO beyond the pale when, for example, promoting his stock.

It was an utter disaster (check the Transrelational section here for some of the sad story), with some distressingly low-integrity behavior along the way. ANTs also had some neat ideas -- but they couldn't make them work in the marketplace. And so far as I can tell, those neat ideas are relevant only to the DBMS efforts (abandoned), not the connectivity tools (what they're still trying to make a business out of). And they have some funny ways of behaving too, although I'm not aware of anything as bad as what was going on in the transrelational example. CAM Dave,
