RE: Comparison Statistics between Oracle and MS SQL

I think a lot of MCSEs, esp. those with 4 or 5-digit MCSE numbers also have a vested interest in seeing Microsoft shares stay up.

My opinion, my perception.

        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?
