RE: Differences between Oracle and Progress, actually starting point for considering any migration from Oracle to anything else...

Oracle has PL/SQL. Until and unless Oracle decides the port PL/SQL to some sort of minimum requirements platform features in competing databases so that at least an 80% subset of PL/SQL is portable, the first fiscally responsible step is to access whether it is practical to move your code base off PL/SQL. If it is not, then you save the costs of the rest of the comparison. By the way, do not hold your breath. Whatever adjectives get coupled with Larry Ellison in a sentence, you will rarely see one of them be "stupid."

Subject: Differences between Oracle and Progress

Dear List
I have been tasked to produce a list showing the major differences between Oracle and a Progress database. May you please help me with websites, docs and personal research info, and experience that you might have working with Progress. We are currently using Oracle 9.2 for our application.
