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

Bill, I'd also download and read the new whitepaper that Oracle has
comparing 10g vs DB2...I'm sure you're going to get hit with it and I've
not seen any IBM response to it yet.
