Thank you for your reply.
I owe a better explanation.
This comment has a good basement, it started in the presentation Oracle gave
comparing sql server 2005 and Oracle, really they put sql server in the
floor and I didn't found they exaggerated, for example Oracle's
presenter explained visual studio developers choose Oracle as easier to use,
sql server users have the option to pay 25% of the price per year and save
some money
or price the full price for the upgrade, but because the new version
too 5 years
they end paying 125%, I have an old friend who is a fanatic of Microsoft Sql
Server, he download the betas, know very weel the product, and always was
tellingme why Microsoft was better than Oracle, I simply just quit to try to
explaining the problem of the locks, etc. Microsoft Sql Server was simply
the best was his god.
Well after that presentation he asked me where he could download Oracle,
based on a short investigation I did some time ago and several articles I
read, and some business intuition who works well, the tendency as things are
going now,
Oracle really don't have competitor at least in database, obviously if
you use the database only for create table and indexes,
then you can say you can do the same on mysql than in Oracle, but if
you are working and really investigatoin you really know that,
analytics, etc. etc. even in standard one edition, there are a lot of
features..
And more and more people is starting to understand that, this is a slow and
persistent movement toward Oracle, there is the possibility this could
change, but I'm not sure because the key is Oracle invest a lot in
Investigation, they had god strategic big customer who asks new features
helping to improve the product, this is a chain you have the bigger
customer, this is not only investigation, you are "forced" to solve their
problems, you solve them creating new features that improves your product
for that customers, then more customers from that segment choice your
product, and asks more features. finally Oracle is better because its
features and some performance sql server can't reach easily, that are my
reasons.
And this comment was to share some opinion about something one not always
have in mind but is too important. Hope I don't bore you
Any way you always have at hand the spam button :)
