For one the sybase system allow for dirty reads, whereas the Oracle server does not.

2. The development cycle seems to be faster on the Oracle Platform than the Sybase.

3. The Sybase system seems to be faster at some functions than the Oracle, but I have never timed them out.

4. I think that Oracle is more stable than Sybase. We have both and have more problems with the Sybase system than our Oracle.
