You can also use JAVA on Ingres.

- Performance - same
- Shared Everything Architecture - equivalent
- RAC - equivalent
- DataGuard - equivalent
- RMAN - equivalent
- TAF (transparent application failover) - equivalent
- User defined indexes - same

(Oracle 27,707 hits, DB2 1,955 hits, Ingres 0 hits if refering to
your product) - Jobs at Dice.com
(Oracle 8,097 jobs, DB2 1,779 jobs, Ingres 18 jobs)
- Jobs at Monster.com
- Jobs at Hotjobs.com
I agree that Oracle wins on the job front but that will change. Would you rather keep your job and use Ingres ? or keep Oracle and have your job outsourced to India ?
26. Packages - like programs ?27. Native compilation into C of PL/SQL – never needed this
29. A prayer the product will still exist in 10 years. –
now that Ingres is Open Source it will still be here, why,
for the few things that Ingres does not have, Oracle is not worth the money ??
I know I have made my point !
Regards
because its free
