Hi,

Well, i have worked with those two environnement and i will prefer Oracle without any kind of hesitation !!!! First because i try not to choose only one editor.

10 Go it a small database, and for an Intranet i will try to test MYSQL or POSTGRESQL, it is far less expansive, and very often it is enought ! I know Manager are scared about it but if your developpers write no specific code, the change will be immediate ... !

I am for the right database at the right place :)

Have a look on :
