Re: Newbie's Oracle 9i impression: it sucks

Mr. David Fitzjarrell, I actually don't disagree with your points. But I think you can leave your hostility at your door. Yeah I bashed Oracle (in my mind justifiably), but please don't overreact like the rest of the buffoons in here.

One more point, there are many of you Oracle folks who like to bash MS SQL, and as a MS SQL DBA, I do NOT go ballistic when people bash MS SQL in this room. You guys need to keep an open mind. Perhaps many of you should learn MS SQL since it is CLEARLY taking over marketshare from Oracle in W2K environment.

Furthermore, after Windows.net 64bit OS and Intel's Itanium II comes out, I believe MS SQL will chip away Oracle's marketshare as a high end RDBMS. Don't go ballistic over this. Please THINK RATIONALLY before you reply.
