According to a report on June November 16, Microsoft officials said that when SQL Server 2008 is released in the future, Microsoft will invest considerable resources to solve authorization problems, so as to win customers from Oracle and IBM. According to Hong Kong and Taiwan media reports, Microsoft's British company's database marketing director Matt Dunstan said that Microsoft's challenge is to occupy the traditional advantageous market of Oracle. He said Microsoft will take advantage of Oracle's authorization and user protocol vulnerabilities. This is a bold strategy for Microsoft, but Dunstan believes that authorization is a weakness of oracle. Dunstan said that issues related to maintenance and authorization are "Common Troubles" of Oracle customers ". Many customers mistakenly believe that they own the site license of Oracle, but they do not actually have such authorization. When paying for future licensing fees, many Oracle customers find that they do not have site authorization, and they will find that they have to pay much higher authorization fees than expected. Dunstan pointed out that SQL has been widely used, even in traditional Oracle and IBM customers. The customer no longer worries about whether SQL can rival Oracle and IBM products. He said that because Microsoft published a clear price list, all products are clearly priced and customers can make the right decisions. (Responsible editor: Lu Zhaolin)
