  • Delivering Oracle Compatibility
    DELIVERING ORACLE COMPATIBILITY A White Paper by EnterpriseDB www.EnterpriseDB.com TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Introducing EnterpriseDB Advanced Server 6 SQL Compatibility 6 PL/SQL Compatibility 9 Data Dictionary Views 11 Programming Flexibility and Drivers 12 Transfer Tools 12 Database Replication 13 Enterprise-Class Reliability and Scalability 13 Oracle-Like Tools 14 Conclusion 15 Downloading EnterpriseDB 15 EnterpriseDB EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Enterprises running Oracle® are generally interested in alternative databases for at least three reasons. First, these enterprises are experiencing budget constraints and need to lower their database Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Second, they are trying to gain greater licensing flexibility to become more agile within the company and in the larger market. Finally, they are actively pursuing vendors who will provide superior technical support and a richer customer experience. And, subsequently, enterprises are looking for a solution that will complement their existing infrastructure and skills. The traditional database vendors have been unable to provide the combination of all three benefits. While Microsoft SQL ServerTM and IBM DB2TM may provide the flexibility and rich customer experience, they cannot significantly reduce TCO. Open source databases, on the other hand, can provide the TCO benefits and the flexibility. However, these open source databases either lack the enterprise-class features that today’s mission critical applications require or they are not equipped to provide the enterprise-class support required by these organizations. Finally, none of the databases mentioned above provide the database compatibility and interoperability that complements their existing applications and staff. The fear of the costs of changing databases, including costs related to application re-coding and personnel re-training, outweigh the expected savings and, therefore, these enterprises remain paralyzed and locked into Oracle.
