It's my (perhaps skewed?) perception that there is a much larger number of
Postgres DSpace installs out there, thus it is the more heavily tested option.
Also, all things being equal, isn't it far more expensive to run an Oracle
instance, vs. the free Postgres license? You would also be diversifying your
administration skills having multiple types of databases, which I never see as
a good thing.

Hi,
Just a general question.
We currently have two Dspace repositories running Postgres and are about to
build another. We are considering using Oracle for the new database.
Can anyone give pros and cons of using Oracle?
Cheers
Kevin
