RE: Comparison Statistics between Oracle and MS SQL

>>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?<<

Been there, done that for sister company. 200 GB database. Same 2-way Dell box, running SQL 2000 and Oracle 8.1.7.

SQL choked with 10 users - response time was sufficient, but it won't scale. MS SQL had 1 GB of RAM assigned at the time.

Oracle chugged along with 50 users - same response time. SGA of 400 MBs (including db buffers).

Signed PO for Oracle last Friday...
