I'm sorry, I can't trust you very much on this. Having worked as a high-end
Oracle tuner on a 1 terabyte database for 3 years and having recently been
involved in a new DB2 app, I find DB2 to be as good if not better than
Oracle in very many important ways.
Not even including a cost that's about 1/4 of a highly discounted Oracle
cost model for an identical HA envioronment.
