RE: Oracle Cold Fusion $1 million dollars

2000-10-06 Thread Steve Pierce

Though Ellison had made this offer, he retracted it several months later.
Rumor was Ellison pulled the offer when he learned that a group had been put
together at Microsoft to win the prize and were told that if they won the
money they could keep it.

It was a publicity stunt and nothing more.

It is also a stupid argument. It is like arguing that the top speed of a
Porsche Carrera 4 Turbo is 176 and the Corvette is 165 so the Porsche must
be better. The fact that you can buy two Corvettes for one Porsche doesn't
enter into the equation as to which is best. Moreover if your task is to
haul 30 people one-way to school, than neither vehicle is right for the job,
you need a bus.

Cheers!

 - Steve

PS. I think CA is a little bit bigger than Veritas.

Its performance was so fast in fact, that Larry Ellison said that
he'd pay $1 million to anybody who could show a Microsoft database
performing anything less than 3X slower than an Oracle database.

  Sybase can be twice as fast as Oracle. Which is perhaps why he challenged
Microsoft instead. Sybase doesn't need any middleware, and it runs great
with CF.

Oracle.

First of all, thanks for all the great advice on oracle and cold
fusion integration.

Secondly, Oracle is THE database company.  That is how it got to be
the 2nd largest software company in the world(microsoft 1st, veritas
3rd).  Oracle 9i, which was showcased at Oracle Openworld here last
wednesday, is quite amazing, at least according to the demo.  :o)

Its performance was so fast in fact, that Larry Ellison said that
he'd pay $1 million to anybody who could show a Microsoft database
performing anything less than 3X slower than an Oracle database.
Plus they are super integrated with Solaris, which is always highly
appreciated for those concerned about the enterprise level.

Has anybody heard about SuSE's integration with Oracle?  They are
supposed to be the leading Linux flavor supporting it.

Can anybody comment on MySQL speeds compared to SQL Server and Oracle?

BTW, on the topic of which, anybody seen Google?  Of course.  Damn
that site is a fast loader and responder!!!

> Can anybody comment on MySQL speeds compared to SQL Server and Oracle?

You can't really compare this products. MySql is very fast but at a cost of
functionality and flexiblity. It has not stored Procedure or SubQuery
support.
