In this informative study, find out the real-word impact of deploying SAP on IBM's Power platforms, as opposed to SAP on HP x86, Dell x86 and HP Itanium, all running with Oracle DB.
WHITE PAPER:
This paper discusses how and why to design SQL that will reduce the number of times calls are made to DB2. We'll look at how to write SMART applications rather than writing applications that act like generic I/O modules to DB2, properly tune SMART SQL, and how to exploit SQL and application features in DB2 on z/OS version 8 and 9.

ANALYST REPORT:
Conducted by the research firm ORC International, this study found that performing common database management tasks for Oracle Database 11g R2 took less time and fewer resources than performing the same tasks for DB2 Enterprise 9.7. Although funded by Oracle, the study was independently conducted by ORC.
