From brian_wisniewski@yahoo.com Thu, 22 Mar 2001 09:27:39 -0800 From: Brian Wisniewski Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 09:27:39 -0800 Subject: Somewhat OT: Db2 Vs Oracle Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Due to price only (ANYONE FROM ORACLE LISTENING????) my current client is considering moving to DB2(UDB?) from Oracle. They really don't have much of an investment, if any in Oracle (startup using licenses from parent co.). Now that they see how expensive Oracle will be they are reconsidering their initial thoughts of DB vendor. The employee DBA is freaking out, I'm looking for a new assignment anyhow so I'm really not bothered by this at all :) He is looking for completly biased opinions about why Oracle is a better choice than DB2 and I don't have any experience to say one way or the other. My answer of "I've heard UDB is a pretty good product" didn't seem to do much for him. If you would care to respond off the list to me I'll gather the responses and give them to him.
