While I agree with that the SQL server seems to be easier for certain things
(case sensitivity being one of the biggest thing), Oracle is a lot more
flexible when scripting selective type of backups and restores. I do not
think that is even possible with MS-SQL. That’s a big winner when your
database size gets to be ginormous, and you want to do selective type of
backup and restore to refresh the production database to development, by
bypassing large amounts of application data. That’s the side of Oracle that
I personally love, which if someone told me is possible with MS-SQL, I'd
probably switch my preference in a heart beat.

A lot of companies use both, but I also agree that SQL Server seems to be
used for a lot more instances than Oracle. I just did a quick look and it's
hard to find solid statistics on database usage or licensing. Oracle
certainly makes more money off of databases than anyone else, but that's
different than how widespread their utilization is. Having worked with
both, I prefer SQL Server. For Remedy in particular, it seems to work
better. If Oracle were to become the owner of Remedy, I'm not sure what
impact that would have.
Thanks,

Do you really think its as high as 80%? I would have given Oracle a little
more credit than that. At least I end up working at sites that are more
Oracle centric to meet their database needs.

This is smart! Oracle would love this because they get to dump BMC
Analytics, replace it with an OBIEE "solution" and get more of a leg up in
the BI market. They're struggling in 4th place... and are trying to make it
up with acquisitions. Not to mention the fact that Microsoft has been
pounding on them for years in the database market. When I was with BMC in
2003, 51% of Remedy customers were still on Oracle. Of those, the top O/S
was Solaris. Now, I would guess that 80% of Remedy customers use SQL Server
as the back-end.
