<sound of can of worms opening>

Here's a start. MSSQLServer EE has ...

No bitmap indexes, no partitioned indexes, no function-based indexes, no domain indexes, no reverse key indexes, no object tables, no before triggers (can be kludged, not pretty), no multiple actions per trigger event, no 3rd-party language support a la Oracle's JVM and pro*... modules, no built-in OLAP (it's a weird bolt-on), no control over extent size, no control over block size, no star query optimisation, no sequences, no synonyms, no packages, no structured exception handling in stored proc language (TSQL), no MINUS union operator, no multiplexing or mirroring of log files, no cyclical log management, no escalation-free locking, no index organised tables.

(Working with both every day, do you get the feeling I've been asked this before? :-))

Half of those things are available in Oracle SE One :-)

Ciao
