RE: Oracle vs DB2 - Oracle lost on cost

[Brian Wisniewski]

The client I work for (for the next 2 weeks at least) just made the
decision to use UDB over Oracle due to the price of licenses from
Oracle.  And this is a startup with a big ol' pile of capital.  Go
figure, I thought startup's always picked the most expensive stuff.
They must be saving on the DB for the skating rink.
