   My contention is that Microsoft has carefully labeled its product
offerings "Enterprise Edition" and "Standard Edition" in a shameless attempt
to convince gullible people that it has two offerings that are equivalent to
Oracle's. If you dig into the details, you discover the resemblance ends at
the names. My contention is that Microsoft does not offer a product
equivalent to Oracle Enterprise Edition. If you are even considering
Microsoft, then Oracle Standard Edition is adequate for your needs.
Therefore the proper comparison is between Microsoft Enterprise Edition and
Oracle Standard Edition.

well, you could easily translate those terms into something your customer
does understand -- converting them into time, money, or both -- but again,
you should first define the system requirements....

Thanks Lex, the point is I don't finda paper to give a customer and say
"Do you see Sql server don't have hot backup"
locking reads, fixed block, etc. are too technical and customer don't
understand that terms.
