Don't know what platform you have in mind. UDB has better benchmarks for OLAP and decision support than Oracle on most platforms. However, for OLTP,Oracle8 is ahead of UDB.

I would just get the evaluation version of both the products free and populate data and try your application (if possible to do so)
