My company's database is Oracle 8.
A software package we are looking at requires Microsoft SQL Server 7.
Does anyone have experience with both, and if so here are some questions:
- (Assume I buy either a package that uses Oracle or SQLServer, either will
have the same DB requirements, that is the package would have a dedicated
set of tables sitting on either Oracle or SQL7. The DBA would also have to
support other applications on the Oracle Server)
If I had a single DBA supporting both database evironments, would it be
too confusing ?
Would he be overburdened trying to keep track vs having it all on Oracle
?
I can see there being additional work in doing routine maintenance to
two DB environments.
- How does the administration of Oracle compare to SQL Server as far as
difficulty & volume ?
- (Now the silly question to ask in an Oracle newsgroup...)
Which is the prefered environment to work ? For instance if we totally
dropped Oracle support and decided to go with SQL7 or vice verse. What are
the pros & cons of both.
Thank you very much for any input you can provide.
(please include your title & company in your reply)
