You can not point a question such as this to both Oracle and SQL Server as the rules of engagement are entirely different. SQL Server is brain damaged by virtue of being a Windows only platform. And, with respect to the comment about clustering, clustering with respect to SQL Server and clustering with respect to Oracle describe two entirely different concepts and technologies.
