I wasn't critising oracle; I was merely commentating based on experience on an attitude a proportion of Oracle DBA's have in that they try and apply oracle doctorine and theory against SQL Server installs - they always fail and cause problems for the businesses they work in.

Now, if you would like me to criticse oracle then let's start with the "unbreakable" campaign - what a load of twoddle that was - out and out pure lies.

Now compare that to the SQL Server product record in the past 5 years - we've had 0 security vunerabilities; well - aside from a recent one that purtained to be a SQL Server problem when in fact it was an injection attack cause by very sloppy programming from a developer that would have caused a problem whatever the database, it just hit SQL Server installs more because and let's face it - there are dramatically more of them.

Satisfied?
