Daniel,

in Ingres I wrote 4GL, in Oracle I write PL/SQL in Ingres I wrote SQL, in Oracle I write SQL in Ingres I ran an overnight batch from a Unix cron job, in Oracle I schedule a dbms_job
in Ingres my results went to a database table, in Oracle my results go to a database table
in Ingres I wrote a user parameterized report, in Oracle I write a user parameterized report
in Ingres I ran the report with a system call, in Oracle I use Oracle Reports server (with all its nasty bugs)

Ingres is free, Oracle is not

did I miss something ?
