Come
on guys in the field, lets hear you comments from all those using both in the field. I personally have been trained in administration on both, and - like you Ross - have to agree that Oracle is my personal favourite, though SQLServer DOES perform better on my machine here...
<SPAN

In
terms of admin costs etc. SQLServer does kick ass, and still has all those pointy clicky admin wizards - That Oracle is apparently getting with 9i - and have attempted quite poorly with OEM.

  Not

  even
  SHOW UP in the top ten. What a shocker, eh? It's painful to lose our   illusions....

  Oh,
  what's that? You don't like TPC-C? It's outmoded or somesuch? Fine, check out   ANY
  of
  the TPC benchmarks. Oracle is NEVER in the top three. Usually, it doesn't even   show
  up.
