Ack, the grammar in the PDF is driving me crazy! One would think that they would have done a grammar check before publishing.

Tim Toennies, you missed the link to the whitepaper, it is already there, in the last sentence of the last paragraph.
Tim Hall, I do not expect an even and balanced opinion form a software vendor trying to sell you a service or a product. However, I always search for provable facts.

hmmm...the points you "noted" are a bit one-sided. I take it you use SQL Server for your dev. Since a lot of folks who read your post are not going to bother reading the actual white paper, you could do both platforms justice by pointing out the pros and cons of both. Just a thought.

Johnny, if I point out what it has been written about Oracle, especially its "weakness" or "cons" as others perceive it, this does not mean that I do not use Oracle or I use another product like MSSQL. In fact, I have been an Oracle developer since the early nineties and many of the readers of my blog are Oracle professionals. However, I'm not a blind follower of any product.
In my opinion, It does not hurt to know the "competition", in fact one should learn as much as possible about "the other" product, but be specialized in one.
You're right, however, that the points I noted "are a bit one-sided", and that was intentional. As an Oracle professional, I often get into a discussion about the differences between Oracle and MSSQL (or other databases), and usually, similar points (and more) get thrown at me. I just wanted to stir a little bit of a (constructive) discussion -- Thanks.

I don't get it: apparently according to this genius, SQL Server is "better coded" (whatever the heck that means). Yet, in the same article he mentions that because Oracle can run in optimistic locking as fast as SS does in pessimistic locking, SS needs to "otpimize its code a little bit".
I just wish that for once someone with a clue about IT reviewed this sort of paper before it's let out. Having someone with a basic knowledge of English grammar do it as well wouldn't be out of place.
As is, it's another waste of time, space and paper - if anyone ever prints it.

I actually enjoyed reading the article. Thanks for link. Interesting to watch the people's reaction as some are looking for content, scope and appreciate amount of hard work been done. And others like Nuno just arrogant and clueless
I got the opportunity to work with both of them, the only thing that i can say is that the advantage of One compensates the disadvantage of the Other, be it in terms of speed, cost, reliability, installation etc...
Each one of us chooses according to our means and requirements....

Hi,
I am currently working in Sql and planning to start learning oracle.
I was looking for some advise/ guidance as to which one of them has got better scope and market value in future.
I have been working in Sql server 2005 for almost an year.
I would be greatful if you could guide me for the same.

A grande vantagem ...
Num cliente uma base de dados grande demorava varios minutos no SQLSERVER.
No oracle demorou segundos. Em empresas grandes isso é algo critico e é o suficiente para se trocar de banco de dados.
