Indeed, that is a big problem at IBM.
If Oracle's marketing is a disaster, IBM's db2 marketing is a deluge of incompetence...

Yeah but at the prices Oracle are selling those, they gotta be joking!

I just use Mumbai. It does both AWR *and* Statspack plus ASH and a lot more. Something the incompetents at Oracle seem totally incapable of doing in a single tool!

And you were not far from reality. So far, all I've seen from "cloud" is exactly that: shite. The few cloud services we have now are incredibly unreliable and s-l-o-w!...

Ah yes, because cloud services are free, of course! It's amazing how "savings" are never compared with true costs. We had some luminaries coming in last year telling us how much cheaper everything would be if we "moved all to the cloud". When the chips finally hit the ground, it turned out we would save 10% of our IT budget by adopting their cloud. And no one has told us yet how much more it'd cost to provide the same backup/restore and DR services that we already provide now, with the same budget.
Yeah, some "savings"!...

Chris Date is giving our meetup group here in Sydney a presentation in December.
You would NOT believe how many times I had to explain who he is to local "experts" and "community advocates" and "marketeers"... Received on Mon Oct 27 2014 - 08:21:00 CET
