If You Know Oracle, You Know DB2 9.7
Most computer science students learn Oracle, rather than DB2. But many large institutions (banks, insurance companies, credit card issuers, manufacturers, retailers) have established DB2 as their standard. You have an edge in the job market if you understand DB2 in addition to Oracle. Now, with the DB2 9.7 Oracle Compatibility features, if you know Oracle, you can use and program a DB2 database. You can also take advantage of the many outstanding, unique features of this newest DB2 release, including self- tuning memory, automatic storage, easy high availability, the best compression in the industry, pure XML storage, database changes without downtime, and lower costs, which is one big reason why those large institutions love DB2.
