If it's performance you need, look no further than DB2. DB2's industry l=
eading <B>cost-based optimizer</B> examines each query request and determ=
ines the quickest way to access the data as it's stored in your database.=
That's part of the reason why DB2 leads in so many industry <a href=3D"=
/data/db2/benchmarks/">benchmarks</a>. =
<p>
Looking for <B>scalability</B>? DB2 lets your database grow to the large=
st amounts of data and numbers of users-that's why <a href=3D"http://www.=
wintercorp.com/vldb/1998_vldb_winners/table1.html">four of the world's fi=
