  3. Things to consider when deciding on a DBMS • Price • Operating System Support • Most important features (ACID, Referential Integrity support, Transactions support) • Other important features (Indexes, materialized view support, trigger support) • Scalability and security • Availability of support and software

  4. Vendor leaders • For low-medium level servers, Oracle is the leader in the market share, although growth is declining • IBM DB2 has the highest market share for high-end servers and mainframes, increasing growth in midrange after acquisition of Informix
