DB2 and Oracle are brothers!
I am going to make an analogy here that some people might find odd, if so please just ignore it. Thanks.
DB2 to Oracle is like Jews to Arabs. Jews and Arabs are all descendents of Abraham, different wives of course. They are brothers, but nowadays they are deadly enemies to each other.
DB2 and Oracle are all based on the same research prototype IBM put out - System R. Legend has it that Larry Ellison "got hold of" the System R specifications and decided it was the next big thing. So he and a couple of guys wrote the first version of Oracle based on that spec. DB2 incidentally was based on System R too. So you see, Oracle and DB2 are really brothers. But still they are fighting each other to death.
