Despite of all cynic comments you will get here on an oracle-newsgroup, you may use a cost based aproach to answer your Q. Here some of them:

		ORA		SQL
- Maintenance	expens.		less time req.
- Licences	expens.		depends on your env.
- if GBs of data	ok		Don't
- Training	expens.		cheap
- HW Req.	ok		ok
- ###Users	ok		probably not
- Security	better		probably not
- Tools		don't		much better!

We are using both, SQL-Server and Oracle, for fitting different requirements.

Hope that puts you on the road
