>>>DBA... >>> Oracle Min/Max £40,073 £45,219 >>> SQL Server Min/Max £36,128 £40,846
Thanks for the catch. So the math becomes
Min MAX Oracle 40,073 45,219 SQL Server 36,128 40,846 Difference 10.92% 10.71%
Pretty much an 11% differential. I still don't think this meets your claim of being " a lot higher than SQL Server ones". Received on Sun Feb 26 2006 - 14:20:21 CST
