Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: MS SQL hasn't given up!
I think it is foolish to ignore MS SQL at this point. I think that knowing
MS SQL only benefits me as a Oracle DBA in the long-run. It helps to
understand the core concepts of managing RDBMS. I don't think I could know
both in the same amount of detail and frankly there is a lot more to know
about Oracle from a purely RDBMS basis because there is more to deal with -
I think this translates to more flexibility of an RDBMS. I think we become
more valuable to employers and in the market if we can understand both to
some degree. Sorry. Just observing reality.

For your amusement, MS thinks they can "now" equal Oracle in performance (wasn't that what they claimed 3 years ago?). Anyway, I tend to think of these benchmarks like the NASCAR winners. Yeah I'm going to go by a Chrysler because it won the NASCAR championship.
