DB migration from Oracle to MAXDB

[former_member340552]

Hi,

We would be migrating from the current Oracle database to MaxDB.

I need a comparison between Oracle and MaxDB.

We need to compare Oracle and MaxDB in terms of

- performance

- high availability

- OS

- unicode

- backup

- Point in Time recovery

Our Landscape consist of

OS : Solaris 10

DB : Oracle 10.2

SAP: ECC 6

Users : 275

DB Size: 350GB

Can anyone help me in this.

This comparison can only be done by yourself in your environment with your application settings.

If you check the benchmarks for both databases (http://www.sap.com/benchmark) you will see that the performance of both database engines is more or less similar.However, those benchmarks are synthetical. So the only way to find out, if MaxDB is a proper replacement, is to do a migration and run your critical transactions yourself.

Be aware that a production migration must only be done by a certified migration consultant on-site, otherweise SAP may deny support for problems during the migration and may bill this as consulting. See http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration and Note 82478 - SAP system OS/DB migration

To run the test you can use the system copy guide and use the R3load method to export the content of the database and import it on a new system.
