We are trying to select the appropriate RDMS for
a project in which the most important data will
be text of a variable length. We expect to have 1MB
of character data in this field in a given record, and maybe more.
Is it true that the Context Option in Oracle makes that a
more appropriate choice. especially if we may have to
perform functions such as count words and manipulate data
in this record?
In the next revision of the database later this year,
we also intend to add unicode. Although Oracle supports
this now, by the time we need to use unicode, it seems
MSSQL v7.0 will be out and that is expected to support unicode.
