   DB2 is good on Unix, Linux, and Windows also. DBA's don't like DB2 because   
   it takes fewer of them to operate and they think there are more Oracle jobs   
   in the marketplace. All systems have problems occasionally, just ask Ebay   
   about their outages caused by Oracle crashes and hangs.   
      
   If you personally had problems that could not be resolved with IBM support,   
   then maybe it was unique to your situation and use of the product.
