Mogens, the only problem with your statement about 'oracle myths & king of the new world' is that the only way of looking at SQLServer performance is probably looking at ratio's: there are no wait statistics, there is one(1) latch wait counter though! for the complete system :( (apart from some other almost useless perfmon counters, taht is..)

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.
