Re: Oracle License for Training

MS SQL costing less than Oracle is only partly true.

If you load up MS with the extras that constitute a std feature set on Oracle, Oracle is very competitive.

Been lots of comparisons on that.

Now PostgreSQL and MySQL, those *are* less expensize than MS SQL and Oracle. :)

Sounds good. It's not that expensive! I wonder if Oracle instructors cost more than MS SQL instructors that's why most schools (where I am)offer MS SQL?
