Who (has) to prepare more ? Oracle vs. MSSQL DBAs
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^         

This is the real subject.

Oracle has never been sold on its ease of use so why, Alexander, are you comparing your two respective 'default installations'.

Glad to see your coming across to Oracle.

Interesting that MS's attempted trashing (or embracing and extending and extorting) of Java has lead to a migration away from their RDBMS.

Well God does move in mysterious ways I suppose.

As N.Souto said, you have got to learn the product first.

And don't evaluate any product until you've given it a correct configuration.

Its not all about "how quickly you can get a first compile on an app"? , it's about "how reliable and fast its going to whole system going to be 3 years from now?".
