Oracle vs DB2 on heavy OLTP loads

We're almost ready to give up on DB2 v8 and consider migration to Oracle (the reason is DB2 v8 being unstable). The main question is - how good and stable properly configured Oracle is under heavy OLTP load (10M+ transactions/day)? DB2 v7 handles such loads nicely, but v8 even w/FP7 is a disaster (instance crashes as well as other errors), and with supported life of v7 coming to the end, we are pressured to look for alternatives (with the only real one being Oracle).

So - does anybody has an experience (good or bad) with running heavily loaded OLTP systems on Oracle? Received on Mon May 16 2005 - 17:35:53 CDT
