The things that differentiates Oracle from all the others, are things
that non-Oracle users either never have heard of, or simply aren't
aware exists. Things like
- transparent data encryption (data on disk, data acrossd the wire)
- multi-factor authentication of users (e.g. by IP, by time, in
addition to by user)
- database realms (e.g. even the DBA cannot read the data belonging to
HR and thus pull out the salary data) - the DBA should manage the
dataBASE not the data
- features like Flashback (e.g. SELECT this_item FROM table as it was
at 8:00 a.m. today)
- Oracle DB can serve as an authentication store for both MIT and
Microsoft (a.k.a. Active Directory) Kerberos users, and tie in to
Oracle's Identity Management services
Wow!!! Good to know these things. Thanks.
