Oracle still has horrible user interfaces.  Oracle SQL developer is not intuitive, has some very odd behavior.

SQL Server outperforms Oracle and who wants to return to the dark ages of Unix-like systems?

Teradata costs way too much––nice way for IT departments to throw millions away on a data warehouse pipe dream.

That is all.

I do believe that saying SQL Server outperforms Oracle is fighting words in some places.

Last place I was, we had 6 ORACLE DBA's to keep an ORACLE Rac running... SQL server with the same amount of data? 1 DBA...

I'm sitting next to our Oracle DBA, she's supporting, last I heard, over 100 databases, a number of which are RAC.  I'm managing over 70 AIX servers plus the SAN with 174T (yes, that's 87T x2) of storage.

MySQL has no licensing fees.
