Re: Comparison Statistics between Oracle and MS SQL

A former coworker used to do thise with me, but we were both good nature about it and both enjoyed it.

He even sent me a couple of columns from a well known SQL Server 'guru' where Oracle was subjected to all kinds of unjust criticism.

I even responded directly to the author on that one since it was such a load of garbage. He never deigned to respond.

I'm not in love with Oracle, but I've taken Sybase classes, and Sybase is very similar SQL Server. I was very surprised at how light weight the database was in comparison to Oracle. As in not quite as sophisticated.

Do yourself a favor and learn a little about SQL Server. I find myself likening it to mySql. Sure it's fast, but do you want to run you enterprise on it?
