Some of the features that I am missing from MaxDB: - Table partitioning - Control over where data goes physically (tablespaces etc.) You don't have that control on SQL server too.

Or you want to be able to take individual tablespaces offline and manipulate them independently. I understand the reasoning behind MaxDB's approach to distribute data evenly across volumes but this only works good if you have them on physically separate disks.

If you have a problem with MaxDB, everyone would say If we were staying with Oracle If Oracle has a big problem in whatever area, you just live with it - because it's Oracle. You take into account and install dozens of patches on your systems, hire additional DBAs just because it's like it is, and it's accepted like this. I'm sure that, if you would invest the same amount of time initially for a MaxDB migration as you needed to get your Oracle databases installed, patched and tuned, you would get almost similar results.

Re: MaxDB vs MySQL
2007/6/6, Döhr, Markus ICC-H [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [...] Well, not exactly: it's significant faster on SQL Server *and* Oracle. That's a hard statement ;) Did you (or someone else) try to find out the reason for this? Well, we tried but it's difficult with the given tools. For example, at times we experienced a high startup time but were not able to detect which SQL was responsible for this. IMHO that is actually one of the weak spots of MaxDB: with SQL Server I start the profiler and get timings and execution plans, with Oracle I do a session or DB trace and examine with tkprof, look at trace files directly or even use AWR etc. With MaxDB it is really hard to connect performance figures to SQL statements. MaxDB comes by standard installation with a configuration, that is suitable for usual R/3 OTLP configurations, this may not be the right one for your environment. If the differences are that significant, I'm sure it would be of interest, why it behaves like this. Certainly. But there is the crucial T point below. I also had a conversation with Joerg end of 2005 who seemed to be interested to learn our issues but when I got back at him I did not get a reply so I stopped asking. Unfortunately (for you) I will be leaving the company I currently work for soon and thus I don't actually have the resources to dig further into this. Also, the product we are talking about is phased out soon. Basically the schema is pretty much a standard snowflake with only few additional indexes. Dimensions are filled via SP calls and fact tables are loaded through loadercli. Queries typically combine data from larger time frames (say a month) and sometimes involve inline views that do totals calculations (to be able to report percentages). If you are interested in more detail please contact me offlist; maybe I can connect you to someone else who might be able to provide you with a demo license and further information so you can investigate in your lab.

That's good for you. We OTOH have a large Oracle install at a customer site that uses a NetApp filer and is slow - so far Oracle experts have not been able to optimize it. So it's not all sunshine with the other databases as well (in this case it's Oracle 10g choosing a suboptimal plan). We also have another customer with a really large SQL 2k (3TB I believe) and they actually ran into a bug in the database. I was amazed because I had not expected that. Also I learned along the course that SQL Server 2k apparently is not using native threads internally. I understand the reasoning behind MaxDB's approach to distribute data evenly across volumes but this only works good if you have them on physically separate disks.
