Re: Oracle vs DB2 on heavy OLTP loads

Thanks, but...

• re. "number of nifty things" - DB2 has them either, and option for space pre-allocation is standard for any database-pretending-to-be-somwhat-serious.
• re. RACs - DB2 has somewhat similar thing but it is not really needed for any conceivable OLTP loads; in general, we're pretty sure that DB2 and Oracle are more or less equivalent in OLTP performance department.
• re. 4500 records/minute - it was just a test, and what we need is real-life experience. DB2 v8 will also work Ok in several-hour testing; it fails just once a few days or weeks which is still not good enough.

Thanks anyway Received on Mon May 16 2005 - 18:13:39 CDT
