I was surprised when I saw the price for Oracle. I would expect it to be much higher but now it is about the same price as MS SQL Server, at least if you don't nuy the Enterprise edition. Oracle 8 for NT 5 users cost about $1100. I think SQL Server goes for about the same price.

I have one question (I am new to Oracle): When and why should you buy the Enterprise edition? What do I get which is not present in the normal version?
