Re: SQL Server 2005 vs Oracle

One factor we routinely see with Oracle is that one can take a single
piece of hardware. First load Oracle on Windows XP SP2 on it and run a
load. Then format the hard disk and perform the exact same test using
RedHat Linux. The difference in scalability and performance is hard to
miss.

So you are comparing an OS mean't for the desktop (XP) against an OS mean't
for a server environment.

Like I say, your bias of anti-MS tunnels your judgement.

If I get some free time I'll try a comparison between linux and windows 2003
r2 server edition which is a more comparable test.

I'm not suprised, based on past evidence that you cannot repro anything
that SQL Server on the windows platform is better at!

I'm not surprised. Much of the resistance to SQL Server has nothing to
do with SQL Server but rather Windows and much of it quite rationally.
