Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: MS SQL server VS Oracle
Don't get too excited about 3 million rows. You could almost do that in MS Access. You wouldn't want to, but you could. What are you doing with this database- transaction processing, data warehousing? What interface do you want to it- web, VB application, client/server with C or Java? You need to know the answers to these questions first.
