Re: Performance on NT: Oracle vs. SQLServer?

You'll find benchmarking results at http://www.tpc.org. I currently use both databases and I have found the SQLServer to be faster on Windows NT, and a lot less maintenance. Oracle requires quite a bit of set up and constant attention,and the backup/recovery procedures are not as straight forward as it should be.
