Just one more report ordered and paid for the marketing purposes. I would trust a report like that only if signed by a really reputable institution which uses both databases, like a Citibank or Chase Manhattan. I believe that you'd be able to find claims that SQL Server is better then both and that sufficient quantity of Winduhs servers will beat an HP SuperDome
or IBM P690 hands down, with signifficantly lower admin costs or TCO. I'm open to offers to write one such report myself, if the price is right. In good old times we had Marketing Invention for Pushing Sales, or MIPS for short.

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Rauch report: Oracle vs DB2

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

http://www.oracle.com/ip/deploy/database/theme_pages/index.html?ma_04252003. html

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.
