Been using DB2 for about 4 years and am now forced to use Oracle . So
far Oracle is looking like a big piece of crap compared to DB2. Whats
with this SQL *PLUS Worksheet for one thing? Still havent found a way
to stop a query from executing... Its the worst looking and using tool
for a database I have ever seen. Google advice is to get a third
-party tool(???) for queries. Db2 = all tools I need to excute
queries. I will admit the javatools can be kinda buggy in Db2 but
Oracle doesnt even come close to the functionality. Also Whats with
one database per instance?? That another major setback. From what I've
seen people get by this by having multiple schemas under one instance
not good in my opinion. For Oracle to be a database only company I
would think they would have better tools and technology than Db2 or
SQL Server but from what I see its not there. The one thing I have
seen that I like is the little gui thing that shows you how the memory
is being used by tablespaces and bufferpools. As far as SQL Server is
concerned never has and never will be a real Relational Database. Yes
good for small companies and tasks but would never use it in the
Enterprise. Also I dont understand how some people tie themselves into
Microsoft products..apparently there not doing their research...
