DB2 Administration for the Oracle DBA

White paper

IT departments today have to deal with tightening budgets and shrinking staffs. The luxury of being a single platform DBA is becoming a thing of the past. Many DBA’s are being required to support multiple DBMS’s on multiple platforms.

Many IT shops today are running a combination of Oracle and DB2 which is resulting in either having to cross train DBA’s or hire new DBA’s with expertise on the specific DBMS. This whitepaper is geared towards the Oracle and DB2 DBA who is now responsible for managing both databases, or is transitioning from one to the other. It will cover the essential architectural and administrative differences between Oracle and DB2 UDB.
