In fact, maybe we should start with Oracle, DB2, or (my > favorite) MS SQL Server first. Go where the money is, y'know? Certainly, gathering that information in a central place would be beneficial. But we should be careful about the following possibilities: 1. Basing a marketing strategy on "we are better than X" rather than "we will solve your problems because" is dangerous in multiple dimensions. So, make this information available on the side, but don't rub it into people's faces. 2. There is a real risk that we will come out badly compared to some candidates, when you consider their full feature set. 2.a. If you don't consider their full feature set, your analysis will be rejected as biases or ignorant. 3. You might get into legal trouble. So, in the first round I would treat these documents as quasi-internal, serving as references of information for preparing other material or, say, preparing for tough questions at a presentation, but not as flyer type material. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net
