I couldn't resist the analogy. A Honda is a medium to low-priced vehicle that can be depended upon to give you daily service for 150K miles or more, with very little expense. A Ferrari cannot be depended upon to drive around the block without breaking down. The repair costs on a Ferrari can easily exceed the total cost of a Honda within a year (certainly within 2 years) So if Oracle is the Farrari, I'll take the Honda (SQL-Server) any day. ---
