So what exactly is the value given by people in the DB2 usenet group saying "We're best" while the people in the Oracle usenet groups say "We're best"?
Or do you think you or your imaginary friend are in any position to evaluate the values of shared-everything vs shared-nothing? How about the value of procedure code compilation options? Bulk collection? Multi-version read consistency? Do you really think there is any value there based on your set-up?
I don't!
