I see it from a slightly different (and probably wrong) angel, at least regarding the performance of things and databases: If you've worked with Oracle databases for some time (and have real experience), and know about the myths and their anti-thesis (use the wait interface instead of the �&#% ratio crap, know about RAID-5, don't have too many indexes, concentrate on LIO instead of PIO, etc.,etc.) you'll do quite fine. As Peter Gram once said to me: It's all about getting a database to perform on a platform.

You can take your old presentations regarding Oracle myths and change it into a SQL Server or mySQL presentation, change a few details, and be king in the new world.

just a recipe or two away from being able to produce a very nice
German meal...

Databases have a certain similarity. If heading an Oracle project and

having been the lead architect for a top notch product based on
Sybase, and the other being an OCP that had worked on lack luster
products, it would be hard not to pick the former.
