again!!
<SPAN

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
class=638461417-05022001>
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.

Bet
the guy in the Nova will NEVER beat me in my H reg Cavalier with FLUFFY DICE
IN THE WINDOW!!! When they swing they add to my forward
momentum!!

Fine, check out ANY
of
the TPC benchmarks. Oracle is NEVER in the top three. Usually, it doesn't
even show
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
