THM, you have oversimplified ORCL's role and differentiators. Here are some:

1. Scalability (small to huge), running on virtually ANY Unix computer configuration, plus S390 (IBM).
2. Reliability. ORCL's RDBMS is pretty much bullet proof, compared to SQL Server, in particular.
3. Secure. ORCL's security is the most flexible on the market. Once an enterprise sets up an ORCL system, they really can't replace the security features.
4. Flexible deployment strategies, including large central server, distributed servers, and replicated database servers.
5. Web enablement. Apps written with Oracle's tools are automatically Web deployable using Oracle's 3-tier architecture for Web deployment, with full transaction rollback and full Oracle security--the same as client/server.
6. New 8(i) features and development tools for web deployment (WEBdb, for example.)

ORCL's command of the RDBMS space is based on meeting the demands of its Fortune 500 customers for enterprise applications on the latest computing and communications platforms. All of this is far and above the SQL standard and creates huge switching costs. ORCL is the Gorilla of databases with MSFT SQL server as the Monkey.
