A recent study conducted by the Edison Group, entitled Comparative Management Costs Study - Oracle Database 11g vs. IBM DB2® Enterprise 9.5 quantifies how Oracle widens the manageability lead against DB2 and shows:

* Organizations can save 43% annually in database management costs using Oracle over DB2.
* DBAs can perform typical administrative functions 40% faster using Oracle Database 11g compared to IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.
* Oracle Database 11g requires 49% fewer steps for the same set of standard RDBMS tasks than IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.
* Benefiting from increased DBA productivity due to lower complexity and higher efficiency, businesses could save up to $35,155 per year per DBA by using Oracle Database 11g over IBM DB2 Enterprise 9.5.

Once more Oracle Database 11g with its industry leading self-management infrastructure, simply outperforms IBM DB2.
