Hi All,

I know this is a very old thread to post a reply.

But the information that was passed on emails to everyone is very crucial for me at present.

Roland it would be a real pleasure if you could please send that comparison paper to me or publish it here.

We need the comparision before we migrate from MaxDB to Oracle.

Many Thanks,

Hi Rushabh,

sounds like you've already taken your decision... so what kind of comparison do you actually want?

If you want one to support this decision - better ask somebody from Oracle

I'm doing support now for both Oracle and MaxDB for over 5 years, I write blogs about Oracle and MaxDB and even on the differences (check my 'mind the gap' mini series if you like.../people/lars.breddemann/blog) and still I find that there is no way to have a compelling comparison of the two databases.

In fact - it's pretty hard to come up with a way to compare any two databases at all without resorting to superficial stuff and feature checklists.

Instead it would be better if you would ask: "Will Oracle/MaxDB/MS SQL Server ... - whatever DBMS - do for us what we need it to do?"

For different usage pattern you will always find arguments for one DBMS and against the other.

E.g. if you want to have low maintenance fees and efforts, than take MaxDB; if you want to be able to tune every little bit of performance and adapt the database in any thinkable way, take Oracle and so on.

If you're happy with Oracle - great. If you're running fine with MaxDB - also: great!

For SAP Systems both options are supported and SAP will help you with both choices to get the best out of it.

For both choices you'll find a small, medium, large and 'beyond-large' installations.

For both choices you'll find very sucessfull installations and also very unsuccessfull installations.

So, tell us: what do you want to do with your database? Then we can tell you how you should do it with either Oracle or MaxDB.

regards,

Lars
