No flame wars, please!

We're planning a move from a non-relational system to a relational system. Our choices have been narrowed to Oracle and DB2. Since we're moving from non-relational to relational, then we're not currently using any relational-type operators. So I expect the end result to use simple, SQL standard commands and queries.

The question: At the SQL standard level is there any appreciable difference between Oracle and DB2.

Example: I know that Oracle has cascading deletes. We're not using them now so I don't expect to use them with the new system.

Thanks.
