1)WHAT IS THE EXACT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TERADATA AND ORACLE?
2)MOST OF THE COMPANIES ARE USING TARA DATA FOR "DWH PROJECTS" ONLY? WHY?

Answer Posted / yuvaevergreen

Teradata is RDBMS and Oracle is Object RDBMS. Teradata has
been mainly designed to OLAP whereas Oracle is for OLTP.
Both can be used for OLTP and OLAP. But, Teradata is mainly
used for DWH because of its parallelism. Even a simple table
with less no of rows is also distributed equally among the
amps. This gives TD an edge over Oracle, when it comes to
DWH. Oracle is very well suited for transaction processing
because of its object rdbms nature.
