Its been a while since I used MS SQL but one of the downsides that I experienced was the fact that MSSQL could not support the user loads we needed right out of the box. We had to cluster servers together to get the throughput that we got out of Oracle.
MSSQL might be cheaper at the database software level but it was more expensive at the hardware level...... at least in our case. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 10:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L No it doesn't.
