What i know of teradata is a database software that can process extremely large amount of data with ease
through parallel processing and multiple processors, but even Oracle has such benifits...
I was left wondering, what are the benifits of such a move.

Well, I was working on a Teradata database project, with hundreds of tables and billions (yes, that's with a 'b') of rows, when management decided to shift to Oracle. After much struggling with fine tuning techniques, etc., the Oracle database now performs adequately, but nothing I know of can do full table scans like Teradata. I sure do miss it.
awking: Do you mean working with Teradata in large databases that use partitioning an parallel processing is much more easier in TeraData than Oracle, as you do not need to explicitly partition anything (teradata does it for you) and write statements that make use of parallel processing in TeraData (TeraData does it for you by default).
All projects i work on make use of these two features?
Then why is it that TeraData is not as much popular as Oracle is? --Two things i can think of is TeraData is pricy and few resources are available in the market for TearaData.
Why is it that managements favour TeraData and then revert back to Oracle, Do they know TeraData is faster/simpler than Oracle?
