Oracle Is Just Easier to Manage than 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.
