I prefer to see benchmarks....doesn't everybody :-)
And it would be great if we can have PostgreSQL along. How about we let the Open-Source team define the tests and the ORACLE team define the data to be used.. Or each team show-off what their system can do best. But everything must run on the same hardware. Maybe we can get sponsors that can lend us servers (maybe IBM, DELL or SUN(!!) demo units). In any case, it would be great learning experience. I will agree that ORACLE is the best for enterprise. But at what point does one stop using Open-Source and say to management, "hey we need to have an enterprise DB like ORACLE and here are the reasons". Yes, Please do educate us and tell us the "vast depth" of ORACLE features.....but don't forget to mention the ORACLE pricing model..... --- On Sat, 3/28/09, Orlando Andico <[email protected]> wrote: From: Orlando Andico <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [plug] Met a KDE Developer last night To: "Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, March 28, 2009, 10:32 AM On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 2:27 AM, Ambrosio Berdijo <[email protected]> wrote: .. > P.S. > Let's have a MySQL vs.ORACLE showdown in the next conf... Is it even worth the effort, except to see a fight? :-) People who use either DB know what their needs are. I'd be willing to give an intro on Oracle DB 11g plus the new developer features we have and support for Open tools such as PHP and Perl, however. It's been my experience that most Open Source oriented developers (me included!!!) have no idea of the vast depth of features in Oracle DB. -- Orlando Andico +63.2.976.8659 | +63.920.903.0335 _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
