> The 8/99 print version of PC Magazine has an extensive comparison test of Oracle8i and Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.. For your info, the same company zdnet, also published a report recently claiming that "Microsoft is beginning to dominate performance". I think even you would laugh at that claim. But interesting and convenient enough, they use Oracle database for the pro-Microsoft OS benchmark. Here's a quote: "To be clear, this is a transaction test, and NEC was running the test with Oracle and not with Microsoft's SQL Server, which has been averaging upward of 25,000 transactions per minute. The NEC/NT scenario pumped out a whopping 50,000-plus transactions per minute. But this TPC test shows that, in theory, NT can reach the peak speeds found in the once-untouchable Unix arena, and that NT isn't necessarily the bottleneck that many thought it was." - zdnet.com I think the next sentence should read - "The bottleneck is actually Microsoft's SQL Server.. ". Wondering how much of zdnet does Microsoft own? These media/content companies are probably the best marketing investment Microsoft has made.. something that Oracle and Sun has been ignoring so far. Unfortunately. K-)
