In December 2006, Oracle published a report entitled "Comparative Management Cost Study: Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and IBM DB2 Universal Database 9.1” authored by The Edison Group Inc, claiming that database administrators can perform administrative tasks in 38% less time requiring 35% fewer steps compared to IBM DB2 9.1 (DB2)1. This is the 3rd in a series of management comparisons from Oracle. The first report was written by Rauch Associates while a previous study from The Edison Group compared Oracle 10g R1 to DB2 8.2. In the previous reports there was no communication with IBM prior to publishing the report.
