Hi I really think its a matter of compromise taking into account the type 
of application you have in mind and what level of concurrency you desire 
what im saying is that if its unacceptable for you to you to have large # 
of rows locked for a given update then Oracle I think is the way to go. 
Regarding speed there are ways to handle that issue such as having 
multiple processors, oracle has a particilar architecture option that is 
designed for this purpose.
