Re: Comparison Statistics between Oracle and MS SQL

Well, there is no point of arguing at all. Last time I checked, MsSQL was running only on Windows platforms. I believe there are certain situations in life when MsSQL could be much faster than Oracle ( like small shops with low transaction volume ) and, therefore, "better", having in mind that it's a lot cheaper. Comparing MsSQL running on 2K / some Compaq server and Oracle on Solaris / E10K just makes no sense, like comparing, say, a 4WD in winter conditions and a sports car on a race track. Though it would be a good test to port several production systems ( of different nature ) to Oracle/ Some Compaq /2K and MsSQL Server/ Same Compaq /2K, who has the time and money to do it?

HTH,
Michael
