Oracle8 runs on almost any conceivable platform with the possible exception of coffee machine (I'm not sure that it doesn't), while SQL server runs only on NT. Oracle8 has very good network connectivity with gateways to DB2, Sybase, and SQL Server which is definitely not true for SQL Server. There are many more apps running on top of Oracle then on top of SQL Server. Oracle8 is much faster and much more tunable then SQL Server. There are many more books published about Oracle then SQL Server, so it's easier to learn.
