I am not familiar with Teradata at all. We have a bunch of Oracle databases currently, but our new CIO wants build all the new data warehouses using Teradata, not Oracle. It will probably be three terabytes in size.

It is my understanding that he is the only person who wants to use Teradata instead of Oracle, but he is the "CIO" and he has the final say. What is advantage of Teradata over Oracle? Is it cost effective? Would it work better than Oracle? Why would anyone build data warehouse using Teradata instead of Oracle? Thank you in advance. Received on Mon Feb 18 2002 - 22:15:49 CST
