One's a serious database, the other one is still maturing with alot of growing up to do.

Seriously, if you need mission critical or reliability and room to grow their is no comparison...If you want a bug filled Database with cute tools then SQL Server is the right choice.

Microsoft makes great development tools and office suites, but when it comes to mission critical apps
they don't take it serious enought...
When a Dev Tool like VB or and Office Suite has bugs they are normally not show stoppers, but when
the Corporate DB has a problem you don't want to wait for Microsoft to release the fix months later
or tell you to wait for the next version.....In the Database World that is not acceptable...

Forget about the features, when it comes to the database down time is not acceptable and
Microsoft has a tough time understanding this....

If you are seriously look at databases the only choices are Oracle or DB2. When it comes
to features no one beats Oracle. They are way ahead of the pack.

Oracle Version 8i is more integrated to Microsofts Transaction Server then even SQL Server 7. This
should tell you something.
