Re: Oracle VS.Microsoft SQL

Oracle runs on almost any platform.
i used it without trouble on sun, hp-ux, win nt, win 311, win95, ibm ....
ms sql server is bound to windows nt. the smp architecture of nt is not as efficient as the ones available under unix. scalability of oracle is very well. i often develop on my notebook running personal oracle 7.x and port the stuff to any oracle database on nt, unix and i works seemlessly.
