Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Workgroup Server vs Oracle7 Server
Has anyone compared these two products for speed, reliability, features, etc.
I have experience with Oracle7 version 7.0.12 but nothing more recent and
never with the Workgroup Server.
I know that if you compare the price Workgroup Server is a great deal cheaper.
What gives? Is Oracle just trying to be competitive with Microsoft SQL Server?
I actually have copies of both to load on my Alpha running Windows NT
3.5.1, and I am trying to determine whether it would be worth the price
difference to go with the Oracle7 Server. I was told by Oracle that Workgroup
Server would do the job: 5 user network which will be processing small
(200 byte) data messages sent to and received from 75-100 vehicles on the road
daily. The vehicles only send messages on startup/powerdown and if some
anomaly happens. Vehicle/driver/scheduling information will also be stored.
I would appreciate an informed answer. Thanks.
