Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle, IBM fight of whose DB is more manageable
Patrice, nobody will fund an honest comparison. The only ones that
do get funding are the dishonest ones with the explicit purpose of
advertising one particular database. As an independent person who
doesn't work for any of the database vendors and a long time oracle DBA
with vested interest in preserving my job and status, I can sum all the
comparison up as follows:
Ite missa est, Oracle is the best and everything else sucks. Trust me, or better yet, send me a check.

When I took sociology they decried the use of what they called "policy science", where someone has an objective but wants to find the best way to get there. (e.g. "we want the best education system at a budget reduced by 15 percent." Then they turn around an talk about "improving" the education system, or medicare, or... you name it.) They do this a lot in public policy. They rarely ask: "What level of funding is ideal for delivery of the following standards of services?"
I still haven't seen an honest comparison of SQL Server vs. Oracle vs. DB2 vs. Informix vs. SyBase vs. MySQL that I can trust.
Are there really independent software reviewers out there? If there were, would they have any money to stay afloat? They would end up annoying one of their sponsors at every study, eventually nobody would want to sponsor them anymore...
Patrice.

IBM and Oracle are contesting whose database is easier to manage.

But wait, if they make it too easy to manage, will they need us?
