I've done both Oracle and SQL Server in my career (as well as Sybase) and
though I'm pretty much an Oracle 'snob' I had little difficulty managing a SQL
Server installation [it's been several years since I've done that, however].
Recently I was asked by a recruiter to take a "ProveIt" exam on SQL Server and
was told I had a better score than most of the career SQL Server DBAs [which is
either a testament to my 'l33t' skills or a glaring falacy with the exam -- I'm
not sure which applies].
It can be done as evidenced by the testament of another member of this
illustrious group, but it does take some dedication to bring your best to both
worlds.
That being said, I believe the statement to be 'conditionally' false; given the
right person, one willing to go the extra mile past the 'point and click'
realm, floating between Oracle and SQL Server and providing a high level of
service to both is not impossible.

I just want to get an idea of where some of you fall on this statement…
Truth Statement:
Due to the differences in Oracle and Microsoft database products, an individual
person cannot provide operational excellence in both products with regard to
the management of large enterprise data stores.
(That is, to achieve operational excellence in regard to enterprise data
management of large data stores managed by both Oracle and SQL Server, you need
individuals who specialize in each technology).
