RE: Rauch report: Oracle vs DB2

2003-07-16 Thread Stephane Paquette
If you go on DB2 site,
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/pubs/pdfs/dhbrown.pdf , you'll find a
similar document that concludes that TCO of DB2 is below Oracle's one.

Any Oracle/DB2 dual DBAs out there that can comment on the Rauch report (no
doubt financed by Oracle Corp)?

Not that I'm particularly impressed on the ease of generating stats in
Oracle vs. DB2, but I'm just curious how the DB2 side applies to real-world.
I haven't used most of the Oracle GUI stuff as reported.

RE: Rauch report: Oracle vs DB2

2003-07-16 Thread Goulet, Dick
Having seen the report previously I can say that IMHO it's an apples vs. oranges 
report.  Given an experienced DBA on both systems I still believe that can do the same 
basic task in a similar amount of time  effort.  Why, because they 1) understand the 
process for their RDBMS, and 2) they've scripted it all out in the first place.  Now 
if your talking about an in-experienced person using the GUI's, well maybe Oracle is 
easier.
