That's a nice flamewar here. Let's fan it some more... ;-)
Your metric doesn't mean anything useful. As you are surely aware, the number of books probably only says samething about the number of *bad* book being available - not about the number of good and useful books, which is undoubtedly rather small for Oracle too. (I'm inclined to agree that there might be more useful Oracle books out there than for DB2.)
Another idea is: why are so many books needed for Oracle in the first place? Makes me wonder. ;-)
