Re: The IBM iSeries word from FOSE...

Interesting statistics. They're comparing it to IBM UDB 8.2, that's NOT 
the iSeries/i5/AS400 version. I would be interested in seeing a comparison 
there.

An independent study finds Oracle Database 10g more cost-effective to 
manage than IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.2. 

Oracle Database 10g compared to IBM DB2 Universal Database 8.2:

Allowed DBAs to perform administrative functions in 46% less time
Required 29% fewer steps for the same RDBMS administrative tasks
Took 58% less time and 30% fewer steps for backup and recovery
Required 76% less time and was 62% less complex in performance diagnostics 
and tuning
