Basically, if your application is mission-critical (large volume of
data, OLTP, data warehousing and the like ) the only
solution can be Oracle plus Unix box.
Sql-Server is a low-end DBMS and Microsoft coming from a
PC-Software background doesn't understand too much about
enterprise computing.
However if you need to run a smaller sized application for not
so many users and you don't have to worry about maintenance
windows, you'll be fine with Sql-Server.
At least this is one basic consideration I'd recommend.
