Re: Which Should I Choose - Oracle or Sybase

The project that we are currently designing and eventually develop, 
requires Unicode, text search capabilities (in TEXT fields), and 
scrollable cursors. Sybase does not support Unicode, does not provide 
text search capability (in TEXT fields), and the cursors in system 10
only go forward.



Oracle supports Unicode, provides text search utilities (in the
equivalent of TEXT fields), and the cursors are scrollable. On the
other hand, their stored procedures are somewhat limited (they are 
unable to take parameters or return a status or they are not
compiled; someone enlight me!)



Based on the requirements of this project, should I abandon Sybase
for Oracle?
