Hello all. I
need to provide a one page report on why it may be beneficial for an
organisation with light usage, small DB to move from Oracle to
SQL Server. Their request is purely
due to having a
recognition of their charity status by Microsoft and therefore being able to
get everything at a much reduced
price. It is bad enough that they do not have experienced Oracle DBA’s on site, now it seems
that they are attracted by the apparent ease of use / setup/ Graphical
everything. They are even looking at adopting the same development technology
as one of their main benefactors as this may help them win further
funding from such a benefactor. I
am talking .NET and VB. I am also asked to phrase my paper from the point of “future
proofing” their business technology. I am struggling with the agnostic approach when taking into
account the concept of “vendor lock-in”. It seems that cost is everything. But they will need to accept that cost
is not just what you pay for the base
product. People, I am not really interested in a “religious war”
on this – no doubt such discussion types have appeared on
this List before. All I am asking
for is pointers to any ref. material that you may know of. Happy days ! Martin |
