Database comparison class exercise.

You are going to present an overview of what your DBMS can do and why we should use your DBMS instead of software from your competitors. (15 minutes). You will also be prepared to answer questions from a potential customer (me).

What are the best features of your DBMS? What makes your DBMS better than your competitors DBMS?-

How do you support Data Warehouses and Business Intelligence?
What does your DBMS usually cost to license?

Where has your DBMS been most successful? (What types of businesses (what industry, what size of business)).

Thoughts:
Microsoft SQL: Cost effective – fairly easy to configure and install.
ORACLE: Handles very large databases. Has rich features (geo/special).
MySQL: No license fee, easy to install. Multiple storage engines.
