Title: RE: Async I/O on Windows

WOOOOHOOOOOOO a SQLServer vs. Oracle debate again!!

 

Come on guys in the field, lets hear you comments from all those using both in the field. I personally have been trained in administration on both, and - like you Ross - have to agree that Oracle is my personal favourite, though SQLServer DOES perform better on my machine here...

 

In terms of admin costs etc. SQLServer does kick ass, and still has all those pointy clicky admin wizards - That Oracle is apparently getting with 9i - and have attempted quite poorly with OEM.

 

Bet the guy in the Nova will NEVER beat me in my H reg Cavalier with FLUFFY DICE IN THE WINDOW!!! When they swing they add to my forward momentum!!

"NT still pants"...LOL!!!

 

It must be panting alot, It has BLOWN THE DOORS OFF of "Oracle on Unix" in running

SQLServer on NT, as has DB2.

 

The general public ( and anyone else ) can wake up and smell the coffee at www.tpc.org. 

Check out the Top Ten TPC-C marks, by pure performance.

 

Not interested in pure peformance?  Check out the Price/Performance leaders. Oracle doesn't

even SHOW UP in the top ten. What a shocker, eh? It's painful to lose our illusions....

 

Oh, what's that? You don't like TPC-C? It's outmoded or somesuch? Fine, check out ANY

of the TPC benchmarks. Oracle is NEVER in the top three. Usually, it doesn't even show

up.

 

I mean, I like Oracle, too, but....by the time you turn on the multimode airconditioner, use

the 12-way adjustable power bucket seats, activate the object-oriented OnStar Satellite

navigational system, power up the heated side view mirrors and all the other tools, trinkets,

and toys that make it my personal favorite database, there *is* the chance that the

twenty year old genius mechanic in the the tricked out Nova next to you at the light is going

to kick your ass when the light turns green.

 

But really, I still love Oracle. Warts and all.

 

Wanna drag?
