Mike

eWeek did a head-to-head comparison among the leading databases, including Oracle and DB2. Oracle kicked butt.

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,293,00.asp

In searching, I found an interesting site that provides links to all sorts of database comparisons.

Hi Everyone!

Well, there's been a lot of Oracle vs. Microsoft traffic on the list, but now my Manglement wants a similar comparison to IBM's DB2.

Does anyone know of web sites or locations where there are documented objective comparisons between Oracle and DB2? I'm faced with answering buzzwords like 'Future Market Position', 'T.C.O. - Cost Effectiveness', 'Demonstrated Technology', and 'Platform Compatibility'.

Any references are appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
