ABSTRACT
As the use of the web grows on both intranets and the public internet, information security is becoming crucial to organizations. As the computing industry moves from the mainframe era to the client/server era to the Internet era, a substantially increasing number of points of penetration have opened up. So, it is important that database management system (DBMS) vendors provide security solution within their product lines, such as Oracle and IBM. The structure of this paper is as follows. Six main security features will be compared among Oracle and DB2. They are security evaluations, authentication, authorization and access control, encryption, LDAP and auditing. After that, a summary of features will be given. And finally, a short conclusion to wrap the paper up.

With many systems implementing dynamic creation of web pages from a database, corporate information security is even more vital. Previously, strict database access or specialized client software was required to view the data. Now anyone with a web browser can view data in a database that is not properly protected. Never before has information security had so many vulnerable points. As the computing industry moves from the mainframe era to the client/server era to the Internet era, a substantially increasing number of points of penetration have opened up [13]. So, it is important that database management system (DBMS) vendors provide security solution within their product lines, such as Oracle and...
