Does DB2 not support Multi-versioning? Now SQL Server 2005 also has
Snapshot Isolation. [bis 8 nicht, 9 glaube ich auch nicht, vielleicht Viper2?]

I agree that Oracle is a robust database and a DBA is a must. In my
case, I'll have to play the role of a DBA and Developer both. Still,
Oracle's working is cumbersome and not user-friendly. Whenever, I have
deployed applications using Oracle, I had frequent complaints of TNS.
And when I used other products like SQL Server, EnterpriseDB etc.,
things were fine for months. It is not necessary for a robust RDBMS to
be cryptic at the same time.

I just evaluated DB2 Express-C. I must say, it has the best
administration tool I have ever seen. It is highly documented at each
step as compared to Oracle which has the least documented interface. I
am not an Anti-Oracle guy. But what I have seen from years, that
Oracle lacks user-friendliness.
