Sandra, I would say that the argument between the two is almost moot. You should go with whatever DB your organization/company has resources to support properly. Properly being the key word there. I personally feel MSSQL is 'easier' to run without a qualified DBA than Oracle is, but both are easy to work with when there is a qualified DBA
-----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hennigan, Sandra Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 8:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: SQL or Oracle All, I am setting up a brand new ARS with ITSM. The big decision is whether to go with SQL or Oracle as the backend. I prefer SQL; management thinks Oracle. Without starting a frightening Friday foray on the List, does anyone (LOL) on the list have an opinion? I really need some feedback with the Pros & Cons of using either DB that I can take to my managers. So you know, the system is for an organization that will support about 3000 end users (Support staff plus customers). We have the entire ITSM suite to deploy which will be accomplished in stages. We will start with Asset and Incident Management then move onto Change and Release then to SRM. Anyone?
