Re: Oracle Vs Access

Don't even try to compare Oracle to Access. Although they may both be databases,
they are not used for the same purpose. You question: Is Oracle user friendly.
Answer to that question is an emphatic no. However, MS Access could never handle the size of database that Yahoo!, for instance, has to work with. Yahoo! would never consider using Access as their database. And I would never
consider using Oracle as my database of choice for my personal address book.

What do you need a database for? After you have answered that question, look at
the price of each of these two databases and then think about that question again.
