Oracle Vs Other DataBases

Compare Oracle with SqlServer&DB2..

Oracle Vs DB2
Edison Group: Oracle Saves 38% in Database Management Cost over IBM After completing a laboratory study of standard RDBMS administrative tasks, measuring for efficiency (time it takes to complete tasks), analysts at the Edison Group found that "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 can provide organizations using the product with 38% annual administration-related time savings." The Edison Study: Comparative Management Cost Study: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and IBM DB2 Universal Database 9.1, is now available.
STUDY DETAILS
Database administrators (DBAs) can perform typical administrative functions in 38% less time when using Oracle Database 10g Release 2 compared to IBM DB2 UDB 9.1.
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 requires 35% fewer steps for the same set of standard RDBMS tasks than IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 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 $31,654 per year per DBA by using Oracle Database 10g Release 2 rather than IBM DB2 UDB 9.1.

Oracle Vs SQL Server
Edison study: Oracle extends DBA productivity advances over SQL Server 2000 and 2005
An independent Comparative Management Cost Study from the Edison Group proves Oracle Database 10g offers superior manageability, resulting in significant advantages and cost savings over Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005.
The latest report demonstrates that Oracle's manageability advantage over SQL Server has increased since the last comparison.
In the previous study, Oracle Database 10g Release 1 had a 30% time advantage and 20% complexity differential with Microsoft SQL Server 2000, compared to the 38% time and 30% complexity differential that Oracle Database 10g Release 2 now holds over SQL Server 2005.
In the side-by-side comparison Oracle Database 10g beats Microsoft SQL Server 2005 because with Oracle:
--> Typical DBA functions are 38 percent faster
--> Requires 30 percent fewer steps, making it less complex
--> Businesses can save up to US $31,664 annually per database administrator (DBA)
With this study, Edison Group shows that DBAs can expect to be more proactive in dealing with emergencies and have more time to address strategic issues like database architecture requirements, while businesses can expect to reduce their cost of managing enterprise database systems by using Oracle Database 10g.
