Quite right Daniel - The OP has not provided ANY parameters for making a comparison. Not that we could legally provide the results of such a comparison anyway.

For the OP ...

There are a few things we could legitimately say: a faster CPU generally correlates to 'better' performance; Oracle can take advantage of multple CPUs, and multiple CPUs generally provide 'better' performance; RAC - Oracle's database-in-a-cluster environment - can, in some instances [sic], provide 'better' performance.

I can also state, from personal experience, that n-tier operations tend to be faster than client/server.

I would encourage reading the concepts manual previous indicated. I would also encourage reading "Oracle Essentials" (see http://oracle.oreilly.com) as a reasonable introduction before the concepts manual. Received on Sun May 18 2003 - 21:07:40 CDT
