<<SQL Server Awards this year:>>

my response is with oracle 9i with real application clusters (RAC).

benefits of RAC:
1. virtually fault tolerant
2. best scaling database.
3. unbreakable:) used u.s. intelligence agencies (i.e., fbi, cia, etc). you usually do not hear about these guys getting hacked. guess what their running: oracle.
4. just introduced; give it another six months to a year.
5. supports windows, linux, solaris, etc. i believe sql only supports one platform; very bad going forward.
6. orcl database sales went down primarily due to economic events and has nothing to do with msft taking market share away.

rocky.
