This comes down to a religious issue in many respects. Each of the databases does things the other doesn't; each does some things differently in ways that make some people [un]happy.

I've flushed any use of Oracle until they dump the "Universal Installer" mainly because it makes getting the product up and running nearly impossible on my systems (try a remote install with it sometime). I'm also not happy that Oracle has replaced quite a few operational methods (e.g., analyze table, svrmgrl) with things that don't seem to work as well on my and other sites. Net resul that they took working methods out of service before the new ones were wrung out the point of production stability.

One place to look for traceoffs is the Perl DBI mailing list archives. Even if you don't use DBI itself the list contains good descriptions of what problems people have with various databases.
