People familiar with sqlserver knowledge usually seem to think that
Oracle also doesn't need to be configured. That is definitely NOT
true.
This also means a generic assertion:
Sqlserver is twice as fast as Oracle
generally won't hold.
If you don't want to get acquainted with the intracicies of a
professional robust database system, please stick to the toys you are
familiar with
