>>I hardly can see a reason to choose Oracle
Wow, In one statement you negated Oracle to worthless software...impressive.
To make a claim like that you must have intimate knowledge of all databases and
all database features and options.
You should be a consultant...or work for Gartner.
In my experience there have been very few times when I had to tell my boss or
client Oracle that "Oracle can't to do that".
I did not have to say "Oracle can't to do that" when a client asked me to;
- find and pull past SQL transactions
- restore and recovery a database down to the second before error occurred
- replicate data between to databases
- have a synchronized hot failover database set up
- free the database of gigabytes of data within seconds at each month with
over head
- run the database from 2 nodes
- audit end user db activity
- rebuild/redefine and objects online
- limit end user database resources
- support (con)text searching
- reference external object from with SQL code
I could go on, and on and on.
If you have none of these or any other similar requirements then I too can see
a reason to choose Oracle. I realize there is a market for MS-Access and Excel
spreadsheets too.
But you know what really sucks...choosing and implementing a product only later
to find a requirement that it can't do.
