The DB2Night Show #25: Comparing DB2 LUW & Oracle Autonomics

Posted on 8/13/2010

Comparing DB2 LUW and Oracle Autonomics

Seems like comparing a Porche and a bicycle to me

In episode #25, special IBM guest Burt Vialpando gave an an outstanding technical overview comparing DB2 LUW and Oracle autonomics. He covered automatic memory tuning, automatic configration, automatic storage management, automated utilities, and much more.

Our Shameless Marketing Moment

During DBI's quick show sponsor commercial break, we introduced you to a $2.2 Million UPDATE statement. Even though this statement ran in under a second for each execution, its CPU cost was enormous and it put the mission critical OLTP application at risk for locking problems. DBI's Brother-Panther® for DB2 LUW makes it easy to analyze SQL workloads for any period of time and discover real root cause problematic SQL like no other tools can (thanks to Patented technology).

DBI's comprehensive performance and configuration repository with the industry's best trend graphs enable you to monitor and manage your databases with confidence, improve stability, and achieve scalability with existing hardware.
