Title: RE: Oracle vs. Exchange

And how would you know that. If email data is lost between the IMC and the mailbox how would you know?

I'm guessing he's never lost any data.

So you should.

As a small shop using Oracle and Exchange, we'll watch it too.

We're stcuk on Oracle8i for now.  It has the same dataloss as Exchange - 0%.

We are an Oracle shop and an Exchange shop.  I can tell you that I will
trade Exchange database with an Oracle database any day of the week! 
I'm not sure of the exact statistics that were quoted by Ellison , but I can
tell you that the Oracle 9i database does have 0% data loss.  In a
non-clustered environment, as long as the hard drives are intact (and in
some cases you don't even need all the drives!) you can recover the database
and perform functions directly on the database.  Let me see you do that with
priv.edb.  As exchange admins we all use tools that use Microsoft's APIs and
scripting tools to interface with Microsoft's exchange database.  It would
be very nice to have competitive third party tools (like website tools) that
can directly interface with the database.
On the cost benefit side, I could pay a single enterprise license fee for
the Oracle database instead of CALS.  A large company could easily have over
a $100,000.00 just in CALS.
Obviously, this will probably not appeal to the smaller shops out there, but
for some of us that already use Oracle, I can tell you we will be watching
this development.

Maybe I am missing something but how are 9i and
exchange alike one is an email system and the other is
a database. How are you going to cannect 9i as a smtp
gateway.
