583.0. "Oracle/Rdb tech comparision doc??" by AUNTB::KULVETE () Mon Feb 26 1990 19:58

    Does anyone have any type of technical documentation that compares Rdb 
    and Oracle?  I came across an Ingres vs. Rdb Features and Functionality
    document written by the Storage & Information Management Group
    (engineering not marketing).  I talked to one of them and found out
    that one will be written for Oracle, but obviously this doesn't help me
    now.  Even a short description (10 or so pages?)of Oracles tecnical 
    features alone would be great.  I need to talk to a customer about Rdb
    while they are considering Oracle.  I do have some documentation from
    the marketing group of SIMG, but would like something more technically
    indepth.
    
    Thanks.

    Not in depth enough ... the Ingres/Rdb comparison document had topics
    such as architecture, database structure, storage structure, indices, 
    views, security etc. etc. ... 36 pages in all!!!
583.3I found some infoAUNTB::KULVETETue Feb 27 1990 16:501

583.4See the PW Report, too.CLO::MOLLEYSun Mar 04 1990 18:309
    Dave,
    
    There is a Paine-Webber report available that gives competitive info on
    ORACLE from both a product technical perspective and a company
    financial perspective.  I think you can order reprints.
    
    Regards,
    Nik
583.5PW too old MAIL::DUNCANGGerry Duncan @KCO - DTN 452-3445Sun Mar 04 1990 19:193
    The PW report is too old.  I personally would not send it.

    For what it's worth, don't use the Paine Webber report. Instead, just
    give a copy of Oracle's annual report to the VP of Finance. Let them
    find the "warts" for themselves.
