Re: How to compare Oracle server with MS SQL server

From P.C. Weeks lab test - Autumn (Fall) 1998 and I quote :--

SQL Server 7 :-

"

	Lacks support for
        special data types;
        less programmable
        than competitors;
        doesn't scale to server
        clusters; can't restore
        backups from
        previous versions.     (must be great during migrations!!!)

"
