what are advantages of oracle over sql
Let me point to just two differences that some people may construct as Oracle advantages.
Oracle runs on multiple O/S
SQL Server runs only on top of WinTel while Oracle would run even in a blender if you can put on it anyone of a wide variety of O/S including but not limited to Windows, Unix, HP-UX, IBM-AIX, Linux, Solaris, etc.
Oracle RAC
Oracle RAC is a functional, reliable high-availability solution. There is nothing like Oracle RAC in SQL Server
Hope this helps.
