One slide says that in SQL Server, sometimes writers block readers.

Another recommends that SQL Server transactions be kept small.

Interesting

Pat.

   Gosh you are a fast reader! I sat in on their presentation, and these are two academics, requested to do this presentation specifically because they are not marketing people. Oracle offered to do the presentation but it was felt they might not be totally objective. Go figure. Therefore I would say that slide was prepared without any consideration at all on what it "makes it look like".

Just curious: On p4, why are the authors adding across platforms? This makes the more portable system look like it costs more, whether it really does or not.

 Thanks Lex,
 First, there is a level in decisions, that really don't matter too much  detail,
 So the idea is to say you this have oracle standard editoin, and this don't
 have sql server.

 Second, do you have a paper, study or whatever to translate requerimients
 into money, for example x software in sql server uses X cup, time, etc. and
 in Oracle uses y:

 Thanks Again.
