what initial point! i actualy ment that if you buy a new server they normaly put sql free on, as this is what happened another company
we dont use sql i have seen it and would recomend it though, oracle is the way forward!

that sql is a waste of time, oracle is twice as good but will cost twice as much
it depends on the scale of db use
SQL can do most things Oracle can do

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

Got to recommend a system out of SQL, Oracle and Access for a ficticious company! I've got to evaluate Oracle on its strenghts and weaknesses compared to the others! I've only ever used Access!

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.

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...
Also, MS-SQL gets tarnished purely because it's made by Microsoft, although it does actually perform very well top-end... Dell.com even uses it to run their site
