"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

More Infobright DB Pros →

Cons
"The application development requires a Java developer and not every company has these resources.""IBM Db2 Database is not ACID compliant, which would improve it. Db2 lacks Isolation, so when two people are trying to update the same field at the same time it can become stuck. Other newer databases do not have this issue, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle DB, PostgreSQL, and SAP HANA.""IBM Db2 Database could improve with better security.""The price should be lower.""The only drawback that we see in Db2 Database is the crash recovery. When there is a crash and somebody has to do the recovery, Db2 Database first stops, and then it does any crash recovery. In Oracle Database, crash recovery happens within the database. The database is not shut down.""When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management.""Performance is something that can be improved with DB2.""I would like to see some artificial intelligence brought into the solution."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Db2 database scalability and performance capabilities match our database needs. It covers pretty much everything a database administrator or engineer might need.
    Top Answer:I would rate the pricing a five out of ten. Since it's a government contract, the rates are negotiated and agreed upon with the government. So, it's not like the standard market price. It's not super… more »
