SQL vs Oracle

[erictsfx]

GREAT entertaining video!!! successfully, makes a *superficial argument at SQL Server costs less, and meets requirements. HOWEVER, outside this funny SNL- quality video [hilarious], is Microsoft know for Tier 1 High Performance, High Security, Enterprise Scale solutions ???

[erictsfx]

fyi

Oracle's has numerous built-in reporting tools: SQL, PL/SQL, PHP/SQL driver.

***

Because Oracle has innovated database science for 30 years the product has become very widely used and far reaching, thus, it takes time to navigate the Oracle Community and separate the marketing-glossy hype, from real world requirements and challenges.

[BinRingSing]

i like the SQL Server ... cuz it's easy to use and it's the first one in my LIFE :)

[swanbryan]

Oracle is over priced - and has no built in reporting functionality.

Game over

[opensourceinfo]

sql-server is for little kids

[asda110knm]

FAIL! 

[DB2IBM]

IBM's DB2 has proven its superiority to 11g. Check out my video!

[DaIstNichtWichtig]

@DB2IBM

har har ... great fun showing stupid bar charts with percentages. 85% more people beliefing 76% more a stupid statement, if it's simply formulated as percentage ....

[maqhour1]

Oracle is absolutely the leader in the RDBMS.

[prunetoe]

If you're a developer, Oracle is a gold mine... especially 10G. We're talking billable hours baby. I LOVE configuration issues. Plus... Oracle is now FREE!!!!! Get your clients to use Oracle.

[hirammstein]

Haha are you joking? What about the 5000 USD that i had to pay for that Terminal Services Cals on Windows Server 2008, what i didn't pay for the database i'm paying now for the stoopid Microsoft Licencing.

The best of this is when i have to come to my boss with a smile saying that we have to unpack 5 grands for something even unknown for the MS Partner.

[sparkloweb]

Oracle tastes like something that oozed out of the CIA.

[martinponcianoescalo]

funny but this shit stills useless another MS crap!

[swu880]

hahahah this is hilarious

[otmollllllll]

It is not true that SQL Server is better than Oracle or vice versa.

Both products can be used to build stable and efficient system and the stability and effectiveness of your applications and databases depend rather from the experience of the database developers and database administrator than from the database's provider.

[otmollllllll]

Max DB Size: Oracle=>Unlimited SQL Server=>524258 TB -- Max Row Size: Oracle=>8 kB SQL Server=>Unlimited -- Indexes Support: Oracle=> B-tree,Bitmap, Full-text,Partial SQL Server=> Expression, Reverse, Full-text, Spatial ... etc,etc

[ilkzterc]

this add is a work of microsoft (N) disslike!

[Globalwinner1]

creative host ;) but true SQL is good for Kids..

[hgeminiano]

I agree. Let's MS SQL Server to the children,,,

[martmelee]

@hgeminiano holy crap.. LOL

[jamesjiao]

@hgeminiano What does that even mean?

[PRBHOI]

SQL:-- supports limited indexing method.... whereas oracle have many....



[vsanthosh4u]

hahahaha .. these kids are just kidding.. :)

[oscarsteeven]

sql= Web Simples

Oracle=Enterprise, bank Corporation

[Michelquique]

@oscarsteeven

Sql Server???... Oracle??? .. both 're a piece of crap, the best is DB2 of Mainframe IBM

[jvaldezio]

ORacle is a database, SQLServer is a databeast.

[oliverTbest]

MS SQL is for home users, enterprise run Oracle on Linux/Unix

It's a know secret, but Microsoft doesn't really have a server OS, they just have a client OS that can also run on some servers, but that is like taking your bicyle to the race track.

[RajKamalKhare]

Ha ha ha... Too funny... But it's dificult to compete Oracle... Oracle has more than 50% of market share...

[EPS5000]

MySQL is better than Microsoft SQL. I wonder if that's why you didn't include it in this "game"?

[c477681]

you gotta know further!

[Miguel192]

So, those guys are androids?

[b0010100]

"what is this?!?! its delicious!"

little girl was so cute!

ad was bs

[unlivingrolan]

piece of crap marketing propaganda

[pcuncle]

@Red west C building :-)

[rastasiefgasim]

LOL people dont kiddin please

do not compare ORACLE wd any dbms

its just a waste of time

u can compare oracle 8i and sqlserver 2005

then its a fare comparison LOL

[jopsuey]

i love phpmyadmin...me gusta mas

[lefcom]

SQL Server's locking scheme is much simpler (less mature) and will result in a lot of delays/waits in a heavy OLTP environment. SQL WILL NOT SCALE ASWELL AS ORACLE.

[sillysean3]

SQL easy to install and then PUKE

It has built in Bullshit

[mwfontan]

Sure, SQLServer tastes good at first, but after awhile, you find it's usefulness somewhat limited, and it doesn't mix with anything. Try SQLServer with Unix or Linux - can't do it. And they're free. So you end up paying more for the infrastructure to support SQLServer, plus the product itself, and, you find it costs MORE when run on the same size platform as Oracle!

[verschaeves]

and you think Oracle is free??!!

[abombinreverse]

Oracle likes to take over your operating system!

[jastat]

Oracle doesn't scale financially

[RemoteTechnology2012]

I'm searching for a developer.

[bzdashek]

how much money?

[jastat]

try India

[RemoteTechnology2012]

@jastat Hah good one. My investors are from India and the investors happen to be a software company. I love India developers!

[yukoyuko0316]

I really love some of Japanese part in this movie!

[jaggarai]

oracle security searching and sorting, its speed, its just the best.

Its used by most of the large organizations.

Sql server is easy to use but its not that much famous in the multinational industry

[gruad999]

I always thought SQL server was easier to use, Oracle best for big systems mainly because the locking is less intrusive

[HythlothCoder]

I'm not much of a DBA, but Sql Server seems so much simpler and easier compared to Oracle.

[quijarro]

aguanteee ORACLE papa... este se biene con todo por que se esta comprando todoooo¡¡¡ jajaja

[ihatecountry]

Ehm I don't mind SQL as it does make a lot of things easy, but this ad is just dumb. It's kinda like the Mac advert where they miscall the PC. A decent advertiser would just list the good features about SQL, not condem other peoples product.

[atifmalik5]

SQL Server?? Yah rite. This ad is a piece of crap.

Who is the leader in the RDBMS world.? The answer is ORACLE.

Who wins over platform dependency, PLSQL vs T-SQL, Performance and Tuning, clustering, table partitioning and a lotttttt a lotttttt more.

ORACLE is incomparable.

[swanbryan]

@atifmalik5 Oracle is the most overpriced, bug ridden foreign run piece of trash I've ever worked with. Want BI? 10K want Reporting? 10K

You have a rollback button, end of story, scrub. And you do IPod tutorials and have a lisp. Double end of story

[neilgreene]

This add was actually better then the puke add that Microsoft recently pulled. (and that ain't sayin much)

[ruvenss]

Well, lets see, Microsoft SQL...., security.... yeah maybe if we disconnect the server from any network, and as an extra measure we could unplug the power cord too... that will make the most secure and unbreakable data base in the whole world :D

[rafaelbfs]

Does M$ SQL runs on Unix or Solaris?

Is it safe?

Is it fast?

Should I take a clearly stupid ad into consideration?

[innkari]

JUST PULL SHIT

[peppeddu]

Hmmm, let's see...

Does SQL Server still have the 16 tables query limits?

[StacyMarquette]

If you are working on small applications then SQL Server makes more sense. If you are working on larger enterprise applications then Oracle makes more sense.

[nikhilyt]

why?

[FeydRauhta]

Oracle - is for people but not for everyone :)

[hsienkangchen]

I use SAS

[salvadormier]

This video was made by the mentally retarded, the driver is a poor devil, and also to interview, so we know that real information is the best oracle database for large enterprises, sql server is for idiots small business

[uscgensign]

Oracle missed the boat on BI... Anyone see Gartner lately and Oracle's inavility to execute?

[quandary82]

Nothing beats PostgreSQL

AND IT'S FREE.

I WANT GNU !

[vpaleti]

sql server is realy for kids...and oracle rocks always...

11g is the most robust and secure db ever released...

[uscgensign]

spoken like a 300k a year Oracle Consultant. Lol.

Oracle is for companies who want to go bankrupt. I have a better idea. Buy a SQL instance and give me the extra $400k per server.

[mhmtatar]

ms sql server

just for kids!

:D

[davidlars99]

Why? Because it is easier to work with?

[illidan015]

and what about MSSQL server 2008?

[BrightButNeverBurned]

Bipartisan response: very entertaining, but I can see why it would annoy Oracle professionals. Obviously don't use this for making choices between Oracle and SQL Server. As a DBA who manages both SQL Server 2005 and Oracle 10gR2: Oracle does HA, Backup-Restore & Performance better, SQL Server does OS-based Security \ Single-Sign-On (mainly due to only having to deploy on Windows) & Manageability better (Management Studio trumps new web-based DB Control \ Enterprise Manager).

[roymorgan276]

Lets not talk about other Microsoft products like Great Plains or SharePoint. They claim to target enterprise customers but to be frank only a start-up firm with two or three computers which is happy with a 'good enough' solution (as MS promotes them) will go for MS products. How many of the world's top 500 companies would choose Great Plains as against Oracle applications or SharePoint against Oracle's BI/UCM ?

[roymorgan276]

A great video promoted by Microsoft. We surely did hear some great (and false) stuff about SQL as against Oracle 11g. The BI is of course free with SQL but can that match with Oracle's Business Intelligence (especially after Oracle acquired Seibel) ?? The manageability, as per the video, of SQL Server 2005 is great, well, I have my doubts. SQL 2005 boasts of TCO? Honestly, any enterprise using SQL 2005 do not see a ROI at all.

[ndyt]

A lot of haters here from the Oracle side. SQL Server is the way to go if you can tolerate a Windows platform.

[fpsqt]

First of all, SQL Server 2005 should be compared to Oracle 10g (which came 2 years early and MS can't still beat it), not 11g.

Secondly, if I were some corporation executive in charge of choosing between these two databases, and watched this commercial, Hell I would DEFINATELLY NOT CHOOSE SQL SERVER.

[SneakyWhoami]

I'm scared of MS SQL server. Every RDBMS has its quirks, that's for sure. For some reason I don't see how the MS quirks benefit me - if it's got to be different, why not make it better instead of just different?

I must point out that I am an amateur among amateurs and have never administered an Oracle database.

For an address book try MS Access of OpenOffice DB. Building an app, want cheap quality? MySQL, PGSQL or SQLite. Corporate? Go Oracle!

[ewatchbay]

SQL server does not compare with Oracle. It does not run on UNIX servers. It is prone to viruses and corruption. Limited in scalability and guranteed to perform poorly on speed on VLDBs. No wonder Oracle is still the best! Certainly SQL Server is for babies only as in this video!! Microsoft should stick to the home market; not corporates :-)

[maxenglish]

get a job

do waste time of you for making this kind of movie

[jessewimberley]

Awesome

[martinimanohyeah]

u know, most corp. don't use and or NEED RAC! Most business apps that are run by corp have some sort of downtime. Hell, youtube goes down for maintenance. RAC is cool but not 50,000,000,000 cool. FOR most guys.

[kurizzos]

I'm a newby at RDBMS though a question does arrive from your comment:

Are DB Server clusters really necessary?

[ndyt]

No, they increase points of failure and cost too much.

[roymorgan276]

FYI - RAC is not only used for High Availability but also for scalability. In fact it is one of the most cost effective way to scale up as your business grows on commodity hardware. As far as downtime goes, every organization would love to have zero downtime if they can afford it. Having downtimes, even if they are planned, is not cool at all for any company

[acbpll]

People prefer MS Sql Server ... but Corporations prefer Oracle 11g

[rminotauro]

@acbpll Beleive me, people prefer Oracle 11g when the application is too slow. They just dont know that SQL is the cause of slowness.

[Michelquique]

@acbpll

Sql Server???... Oracle??? .. both 're a piece of crap, the best is DB2 of Mainframe IBM

[sl6t9]

if i didn't know any different this obnoxious guy would've scared me away from sql.

[tiberux]

Do you understand how Oracle really works how it is really uses a Unix-based kernel for it's own internals, and VMS-inspired technology for clustering.

Does SQLserver have anything like RAC???

Oracle all the way!!! Oracle on Linux rocks!!!

[rjapanworld]

thanks for ms's propaganda.

[marselia2005]

SQL server 2005 is the best for now

WE will see that oracle can't work beside it

Ask Raya and Vision

[sqlserver2005slayer]

Now here's the question: who's the dummiest guy in the world? I thought it was the MTV cartoon characters, Beavis and Butt Head, but I was wrong,the video presenter alone is far the most idiot one! He's working for the wrong commercial, he should present those disgusting teleshop commercials, suits him better!

[oldjet]

ROFL - since when is SQL Server is even in the same league as Oracle?

Only noobs would even consider comparing.

Do you trust a company that spends most of its budgets on advertisements?

[oubrioko]

Good Point.

Makes you wonder if all of these big pharmaceutical companies spend a lot more on advertising than they do on drug research and testing.

As for Microsoft SQL Server and this video, its difficult to take any product promotion that is this silly seriously. The only legitimate point they made seems to be that Oracle's enterprise level products are [news flash] expensive. Now that took nerve. Microsoft is probably the last company that should accuse anybody of being greedy.

[B1kMagik]

sql server 2005 all the way!!!!

[tiberux]

Do you understand how Oracle really works how it is really uses a Unix-based kernel for it's own internals, and VMS-inspired technology for clustering.

Does SQLserver have anything like RAC???

Oracle all the way!!! Oracle on Linux rocks!!!

[kleb100]

Really delicious :). The guy is very funny :D

[newversiontest]

wow! this is delicious!
