I think the hardest thing about what you ask is that the comparison be independent and unbiased. Usually , if you are a SQL*SERVER or ORACLE user/developer/dba you feel the others guys stuff is crap, and no one is going to tell you differently.

Like anything, take it with a grain of salt, but here is a comparison between 10g and SQL*Server 2005. http://www.wisdomforce.com/resources/docs/MSSQL2005_ORACLE10g_compare.pd f -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Josh Collier Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 11:52 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: compare and contrast sql*server and oracle Are there any good online comparisons between current version of sql*server and oracle rdbms?
