Re: Microsoft destroys TPC-C records!

What I wonder is why not learn both ? For the Oracle guys SQL Server should be a cake walk and hybrid solutions is the way of the future. So why all this flame. So MS destroys tpc-c!Big deal! That in my opinion is like Santana winning the grammys. (Way to go Carlos but look at the competition Brittney, Christina .. Kinda like stealing candy from a kid) I learnt SQL Server 7.0 and I have been an Oracle DBA for the last 6 years. What I am trying to say is that this infusion of GUI based stuff is here to stay might as well deal with it.
