RE: oracle or mssql

Its been a while since I used MS SQL but one of the downsides that I experienced was the fact that MSSQL could not support the user loads we needed right out of the box. We had to cluster servers together to get the throughput that we got out of Oracle.

MSSQL might be cheaper at the database software level but it was more expensive at the hardware level...... at least in our case.

No it doesn't.

MicroSoft is a card-carrying member of the Axis Of Evil.

Last I heard they were developing nuclear weapons, probably in a huge bunker under Bill Gates' house.
