I think a lot of MCSEs, esp. those with 4 or 5-digit MCSE numbers also have
a vested interest in seeing Microsoft shares stay up.
My opinion, my perception.

Subject: Re: Comparison Statistics between Oracle and MS SQL
A former coworker used to do thise with me, but
we were both good nature about it and both
enjoyed it.
He even sent me a couple of columns from a well
known SQL Server 'guru' where Oracle was subjected
to all kinds of unjust criticism.
I even responded directly to the author on that one
since it was such a load of garbage. He never
deigned to respond.
I'm not in love with Oracle, but I've taken Sybase
classes, and Sybase is very similar SQL Server. I
was very surprised at how light weight the database
was in comparison to Oracle. As in not quite
as sophisticated.
Do yourself a favor and learn a little about SQL
Server. I find myself likening it to mySql. Sure
it's fast, but do you want to run you enterprise
on it?
