Can anybody provide answers to this questions.
We can consider Oracle as DBMS and ArcGIS as GIS software for building up an answer

Not sure why he wanted to ask it in this forum, but these are contents of Pankaj's .xlsx table...

	DBMS	GIS
Type of data
Amount of data to analyze and to maintain
Type of analysis function

Transaction control mechanism included
Access mechanism to protect data against non-authorized access
Embedded mechanism to protect against system failure
Occurrences (variety and type of occurrences) of distributed system Architectures
Embedded standards (What type of standards?)
Typical value of system within an enterprise (enterprise critical? Nice to have a system?)
Type of user interfaces
