Hello, at the risk of flamebait, I would like to ask you to comment on
how or why you think Oracle compares favorably with other db products,
both commercial and free. We do web development, and were recently
contacted by a client who wants us to design a db for him on the web,
which would be like a data warehouse for, say, up to 100 little
webstores. We do not know a tremendous amount about the db field,
though we can make them just fine. We recommended at first MySQL, then
decided on PostgreSQL. The question also came up whether a commercial
db would be the answer. We felt that at less than 4 TB, open source
would do well but that more than that, commercial might be the way to
go.
So, feel free to comment, knock the competition, point me to some
webpages, whatever....
