How to choose an enterprise DBMS?
• DBMS technology has matured
• Does a DBMS need 10,000 features?
• Eighty percent of apps require only basic DBMS functionality
• Basic DBMS functionality — all have it
» Triggers, SP, views, indexes, backup, locking . . .
• There a dozen DBMSes that can meet your requirement
• Have a DBMS strategy — identifying which DBMS to use
• But keep in mind that limits enterprise DBMS to two and at the most three
![Page 19: Noel Yuhanna Senior Analyst Forrester Research](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052522/54b595e14a79597d098b4575/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

What factors matter the most when comparing?
• Performance and scalability — high end, Terabytes?
• Security — encryption, auditing, role separation?
• Availability — zero downtime, <30 minutes?
• XML — store and access XML efficiently, Xquery/Xpath?
• Unstructured data management — logs, fax, audio, video?
• Tools — archiving, performance, monitoring, vendors?
• Cost — whether it delivers the best DBMS for the cost?
• Staffing — can I get trained DBAs?
• Support for packaged applications — SAP, Oracle?
• Integration — other systems, data source, applications
• And meeting application requirements . . .
