Oracle Research Report Sample

The study results show that, while both the vendor products have features to help the average database administrator (DBA) perform everyday administrative tasks, Oracle Database 11g holds substantial advantage over IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5. Our detailed analysis reveals that: • DBA's can perform typical administrative functions in 40 percent less time when using Oracle Database 11g compared to IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5. • Oracle Database 11g requires 49 percent fewer steps for the same set of standard RDBMS tasks than IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5 using Edison’s metric for complexity assessment. • Benefiting from increased DBA productivity due to lower complexity and higher efficiency cited above, businesses could save up to $35,155 per year per DBA by using Oracle Database 11g rather than IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.
