Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Comparison Statistics between Oracle and MS SQL
I just love this, I see replies to my e-mail on the listserv before I receive the e-mail that I sent.
Gotta love the Internet!
: )
I have no issues with your answer, I agree.

Hi
There we go again with a possible "Larry's huge ego" thread ;).
Actually, I can't hear that Oracle vs. DB2 vs. MS SQL Server stuff
anymore.
I have close to zero experience with MS SQL. The best things about
Oracle and DB2 are, as far as I'm concerned, that both of them,
taken
together pretty much dominate the database market when it comes to
bigger installations (bank, insurance, telco ...). That means to me,
as
long as I concentrate on those two, I shouldn't be too concerned
about
finding a place to work.
Additionally, with bigger the installation, chances are that the
systems
run on some UNIX, which I prefer anyway. Not because I have any
problems
with MS, but you can just take your whole bunch of selfmade tools
(scripts and the like) and run them on other UNIX platforms without
changing too much (except for the vendor typical differences when it
comes to memory usage monitoring and so on).
And, additionally, MS changes NT/2000 or whatever the name will be
in a
year too often (just look at COM, COM+, .NET and so on).
I just prefer reliable platforms. Safes a lot of trouble.
