: 1) PC Magazine compared Oracle to SYBASE Version 4.2 which is very old code





If you read the article properly, you can see that they tested Sybase SQL
Server version 10 running on Netware, not version 4.2. They did also test
MS SQL Server for Windows NT, which *IS* the old version 4.2 (and actually
performed even worse).



: 2) What does PC Week know about database anyway???





Well you can argue about this forever, but the test has been conducted 
(for the last three years or so) by some very knowledgable people from Ziff
Davis. All vendors (except Informix I remember from the article) did have
an expert on site to tune the system and make sure everything was running
allright.
