Let him use SQL-Server. And then when it fails, he gets fired. You jump to the rescue with Oracle. You get his old job, a pay raise and ride off into the sunset with your sexy new blond secretary.

Seriously though, a point about which I often harp about in this ng - business requirements. Choose the technology to meet the business requirements (and limitations, and budget, and support infrastructure, etc. etc.)

Hell, technically we know that Oracle kicks SQL-Server butt! :-)

HOWEVER, do not just choose technology for the sake of it. SQL-Server -is- a better solution than Oracle at times. As will Oracle be a better solution than SQL-Server at times. From a business perspective of course.
