Hi,

When you really need 24 x 7 (your contracts with your vendors call for 99.1% up time)
you absolutely, positively have to have Oracle.

When you really have high transaction volumes (the kind that choke multi-processor
mainframes) you absolutely, positively have to have Oracle.

When your business depends on the integrity of your data (repeat after me..)
you absolutely, positively have to have Oracle.

I think it is unfair to compare SQL Server to Oracle since the Oracle folks have been
honing and perfecting Oracle since before Microsoft was even a company and RDBMS
is an area where experience tells.

regards

Jerry Gitomer
