DB2 VERSUS ORACLE


Oracle’s Larry Ellison threw down the gauntlet recently when he made claims about the superiority of Oracle over DB2. IBM has, of course, responded. Below are the Oracle claims and the IBM rebuttals. Enjoy!

ORACLE: "We blew the doors off of IBM. We crushed them." [Referring to TPC-C benchmark results] In a machine that took up less than 10% the floor space, of IBM's record setting computer. We ran faster, we ran a lot faster: using a tiny fraction of the floor space, a tiny fraction of the power, cost less."

IBM: Until late last year, DB2 enjoyed a massive 49% lead over Oracle. With Oracle's most recent result, they have taken the lead by 25% (and by the way, they used more than six times as many CPU cores to do it). We are confident that DB2 will retain its lead this year. Also, remember that DB2 has dominated TPC-C performance leadership over the past seven years, with almost twice as many days of leadership as Oracle Database.
