After dealing with MS SQL and Oracle, I can see two differences: - MS SQL case insensitive is easier to achieve. - Oracle admins are usually more "professionals" than MS SQL ones. This is not a fact, but a probability I found at my experience.
What it isn't true is that case insensitive can only be achieved in MS SQL. I have an Oracle RAC configured for case insensitive and it performs perfectly. So, at the end, it is more about organization culture and religion than a technical decision. IMHO, I would choose MS SQL because the licensing cost. Invest the saved license cost in hardware and admin, and the result would be better. Finally the decision between enterprise and standard depends on the size of your ARS system. Normally the standard edition can fit for hundreds of users. But It would depend on the use that those users made on the database, and if the database server is to be shared with other applications. Also it's important your DBA opinion, since the enterprise edition has some features not available at the standard like increased management or BI options Regards, Jose Manuel Huerta http://theremedyforit.com/ On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 11:06 PM, Thad Esser <[email protected]> wrote: > s me as funny criteria for determining which database to use, but I gues _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
