I may be inviting flames here, but the main reason I read this grp is to get technical information about the Oracle RDBMS system and NOT to read "advertisements"  about one product vs another. I would ask the person from sybase who wrote this if he believed in using the right tool for the right job??? There might actually be some cases where Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, or FoxBase may not be an appropriate solution, depending on what you are doing.
