Re: Compare (diff) Oracle DB and MS-SQLServer DB

...this is even worse than the myth that programming to the ANSI SQL standard will allow you to port an application between RDBMS products, such as Oracle and SQL Server... :-)

Oracle does not charge for development usage of it's products. That's why all software is downloadable for free from OTN. It is when you try to seek support that you should be properly licensed. That takes care of the cost issue...

As far as the "skills" issue, the investment in learning how to install an Oracle development environment for an Oracle-based production system would be more than justified by the cost you are going to incur trying to put an application developed under SQL Server into an Oracle production system. "Pay" up now, or "pay" up later...

This question of a script or tool to determine deltas is only the first of many installments of the "pay up later" choice...
