Daniel, I have not purchased any licenses of Oracle in the last year. In general my previous experience has been that Oracle is definitely more expensive than DB2, especially on UNIX platforms. Of course, in reaction to their rapidly declining market share, Oracle may have slashed prices recently.

But given your lack of knowledge about DB2 (for example, you thought DPF was only available on UNIX), I don't really trust your ability to accurately price a DB2 configuration.

I don't have any stake in which one is more expensive, so I don't have to "wish" anything. Received on Sun Jun 20 2004 - 18:38:36 CDT
