There was an article discussed recently on comp.databases.oracle.server which can be used for a decent management presentation, for the PHB and =20 friends. The article in question is full of gross factual inaccuracies, the most =20 flagrant being the statement on page 12 that PCTINCREASE cannot be defined for rollback segments, so rollback segments cannot grow. The =20 fact that despite not knowing a squat about oracle, the authors =20 concluded that oracle looks much better then SQL server only shows how bad SQL server really is. I made some comments on =20 comp.databases.oracle.server, Howard Rogers vivisected the article in =20 detail and the general conclusion is that the article is bad, but SQL =20 server is worse. I cannot fathom why do people expect the company that has created such a peace of s....oftware as Windows to create a good database software? After the usual dose of rant about MicroS*t, the article is well =20 written and makes oracle look much better then MS-SQL Server. It =20 actually reveals the ugly truth: Oracle and SQL Server do not play in =20 the same league. You cannot compare little league teams to the Yanks =20 (if someone mentions things like the curse and some garments from NE, =20 I'll get seriously angry).
