Re: Repository: Oracle vs. Rochade

I had looked into Repositories some time ago, and investigated Rochade, as well as a Repository based on RDBMS (it wasn't any of Platinum's products, but I can't recall the name).
In my opinion, Rochade is a very rich, but proprietary product. You won't find the same functionality in an Oracle-based Repository (and I am an Oracle fan), but you will be more likely to customize and extend an Oracle-based repository
