ARGH! Even "professional"-subjected newsgroups have trollers. I thought most of you hung out in rec.martial-arts, and alt.fan.90210, and other havens for the emotionally immature.
There are a lot of good things about sybase, and MS SQL Server, for that matter.
Sure, oracle is better in many more respects, sure this is an oracle newsgroup, but we just sound like insecure children for knocking other DBMSes.

Transact-SQL correlates to PL/SQL, _not_ SQL. Your statement is like saying, "...at least my car uses an engine, instead of that aberration known as the suspension!"
To tell you the truth, I like both for different reasons.

I'm sure you won't be able to resist a counter-flame, or start a new thread appropriately titled "Oracle rules, sybase sux" (why is it always "sux"... annoying), please don't bother. I'm sure everyone's heard it before. If you want to give that type of response, take it to email... and while you're at it, "looking at your navel"??? explain that, if you will.
