| I've always been told the Oracle is much harder to use and more expensive than SQL Server. I think Oracle has some better options on the really high end with the grid type hardware setups. SQL server can do similar things, but not as easily.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

| my opinion:1. Oracle has SQL Server beat when it comes to backup/recovery2. I think SQL has the edge. SQL ties to AD seamlessly which gives you better account mgmt features. Both support similar capabilites as far as roles and the granularity of permissions.3. Hardware costs can be the same. oracle can run on linux/intel hardware. SQL runs on the same hardware running windows. 4. Hardware requirements are essentially the same.5. SQL runs on windows only. Oracle runs on windows, linux and just about every flavor of unix available today.6. support is better from Oracle, but just barely. 7. training is a toss up. I have taken excellent courses for both Oracle and SQL Server.-ec |
