At the risk of being dragged off and strung up (and keeping it brief as I am very busy), I really thought it was quite good. Maybe it is the "change is as good as a rest" syndrome.
Quite intuitive and fairly easy to get dramatic performance gains by parameter tweaking and runstats (equiv. of analyzing but takes up much less time). Quite good command line tools for index advising and explains etc. Was particularly impressed at how easy it was to set up EEE (equiv. of Parallel Server I suppose) Downside is there is very little out there book-wise (hmmmm, wonder if there is a niche market there - DB2 for Oracle DBAs ??) and backups are potential pitfalls. We have had several issues using Flash Copy on a Shark and the archive logging is a bitch to set up. Just my 2p (bugger the Euro) worth.

As an experienced Oracle guy, what are your thoughts about DB2? -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 12:40 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I suggest you buy your mushrooms from the supermarket like the rest of us instead of picking them in those strange fields my friend -----Original Message----- Sent: 08 October 2003 17:25 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hey good to see you back again Lee. The big change here is that all Oracle knowledge has been cyber-engineered into an automoton called Tanel Poder. Any query to the list is routed by a big fast connection into a huge server with hundreds of CPU's and unlimited memory An almost instantaneous reply is automatically generated , often complete with complex examples and code cuts to demonstrate the point. The best part is that is that the machine is programmed to exibit almost humanistic type responses (occasionally) John -----Original Message----- Robertson Lee - lerobe Sent: 08 October 2003 11:34 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi everyone, I'm back in the land of the living after spending a year on a DB2 EEE project. I've just started working on a 9i RAC solution so the questions will soon be flooding in. I will be lucky if I can even remember to spell spqlusl , I mean sqlplus :-) Cheers Lee ********************************************************************** The information contained in this communication is confidential, is intended only for the use of the recipient named above, and may be legally privileged.
