Dear DBAs,
I've had great fun reading some of the recent threads dealing with MS
x ORACLE, generously sprinkled with comments about to GUI or not-to
GUI, short-sighted companies and under-prepared DBAs.
I work for one of the so-called short-sighted companies who has
elected Sql Server as the "Corporate DB Standard", and is now faced
with a troubled 3rd-party application which performs badly on "the"
standard and whose developers have stated, "our customers which use
ORACLE don't seem to have your kind of performance problems" . . .
I've been searching the Net for some kind of performance charts
between Oracle and Sql Server. Went to ORACLE's site and they seem to
consider only IBM as a decent competitor, no single mention of MS at
their site. Sigh . . .
I KNOW that Oracle is a sturdier and better suited product for a
corporate environment than SQL Server, now I just need some comparison
charts, independent reviews or user polls to show to management so
that they can also show it to higher management.
Does anyone have this kind of stuff more or less available (or point
me to where I can get it)?
Thank you for your assistance. As soon as I can prove to some people
what they already know (corporate comedy . . .) I'll return to what I
need to do, which is to plan an upgrade in our DB2 ERP. :))
Thiers
