Re: MS SQL hasn't given up!

Well, if they are serious about staying in the big db market, they'd better keep trying. And, where do you catch the attention of managers and journalists? Show some big commitments to your platform by major companies or show performance benchmark results that rival or exceed your competition's. I'd like to see MS put some pressure on Oracle; maybe that would drive Oracle to reduce prices or make further improvement in the quality of management tools, etc.
