<sound of can of worms opening> Here's a start. MSSQLServer EE has ... No bitmap indexes, no partitioned indexes, no function-based indexes, no domain indexes, no reverse key indexes, no object tables, no before triggers (can be kludged, not pretty), no multiple actions per trigger event, no 3rd-party language support a la Oracle's JVM and pro*... modules, no built-in OLAP (it's a weird bolt-on), no control over extent size, no control over block size, no star query optimisation, no sequences, no synonyms, no packages, no structured exception handling in stored proc language (TSQL), no MINUS union operator, no multiplexing or mirroring of log files, no cyclical log management, no escalation-free locking, no index organised tables. (Working with both every day, do you get the feeling I've been asked this before? :-)) Half of those things are available in Oracle SE One :-) Ciao Fuzzy :-) -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Grant Allen INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
