If it's for a ficticious company, you may want to consider the fact that MS-SQL has 'self-tuning'... Correct me if I'm wrong LL, but Oracle does require some time in tweaking and optimisation of the application/server? Going to affect cost of running the thing... | |

quote: Right, well access is no use for multiuser systems for a start, doesnt have triggers/roles/schemas/ and doesn't scale well at all. Oracle and SQL server are broadly similar in the main. Your underlying OS may help to decide this choice. Oracle is available on all major platforms. SQL server is available on Windoze only. I don't really know enough about SQL Server to comment accurately but if you want some oracle info try www.oracle.com and otn.oracle.com. Bound to be some white papers there that give you the pros of oracle. If you want to know anything specific about Oracle let me know and I'll see what I can do. Ta LL (Oracle DBA) | |

oracle is a very stable platform, well for the size of things we use. | |

that sql is a waste of time, oracle is twice as good but will cost twice as much | |
