After using both Sybase and Oracle, I sure do see some differences. For retrieving data on multiple servers Oracle looks like the way to go. However, Sybase has many, many, many other advantages for the developer. They include:

Stored Procedures that return result sets (Oracle - no go).
Creation of working Temp Tables in store procedures (Oracle - no)
Sybase system administration is easier.
Ability to join tables on Updates.

These may seem trivial, but in the many systems I have built, they made my job much easier.

have fun
