Yes there I've encountered exceptions myself. 2 years ago I attended a
session held by 2 Oracle employees about performance tuning and
troubleshooting 10g RAC (new-ish at the time) and it was in my Top 5 of all
time best OOW sessions ever. It does happen. Rule of thumb, though, is that
stuff like "Oracle 11g new features" is all fluff.

Netezza is it's own database and works very well for what it's designed to
do which is to run queries on massive amounts of data. It would have been
interesting to have seen comparisons for LG and Martel's data on both Oracle
and Netezza, but I'm sure the data would have been spun so Oracle came out
on top.
