### Pros

"The main project that made me involved in working with DB2 is a transactional concurrency benchmark that compares IBM DB2 to Oracle 10g RDBMS."

"The benchmark results demonstrated high scalability and availability properties in DB2 but the TPS measures showed a better performance of Oracle 10g on HP ML350 servers."

"As of now ibm db2 database is the best provided by IBM technology which have best costumer support and best recovery system where need not to wait long time best resolving any issue are given as fast and can and easy to handle and use"

### Cons

"Having worked on over a dozen different databases, the thing I hate most is having to REORG my tables weekly so that my DB doesn't slow down."

"IBM Db2 is a bit expensive and not all the SQL standards available in the IBM Db2"

"I felt there is a storage capacity problem which sometimes makes it difficult to check the effectiveness of the entire database."
