Database revelation: The difference between SQL Server and Oracle

With the rapid development of information technology, data processing is not only more and more demanding in quantity, but also higher in quality. Oracle databases are widely used in most enterprises, and SQL Server databases are also widely used in the enterprise because of their connection to Windows.

The stability of the operating system is critical to the database, where Oracle can run on all major platforms, with an open policy goal for the Oracle database, which allows customers to choose a solution that best suits their specific needs. Many kinds of third-party applications and tools are available to customers. is a big support for developers. SQL Server can only run on Windows, this is more monotonous, but the performance of SQL Sever on the window platform, and Windows operating system, the overall degree of integration, ease of use, and Microsoft development platforms are much more integrated than Oracle. However, the stability and reliability of the Windows operating system are obvious to all, and the Microsoft Company's policy goal is to lock customers into the Windows Platform environment, and SQL Server can only improve as Windows performance improves. Oracle is a complete winner of SQL Server from the operational platform.

As you can see from the data, Oracle's security certification is certified at the highest level of ISO standards, and SQL Server does not have any security credentials. This demonstrates that Oracle is more secure than SQL Server.

To buy a product, the first consideration is of course the performance of the product, when considering the performance and of course, how much money to spend in this product is also a key issue. To establish and run a database system. It includes not only the initial acquisition of software, hardware costs, but also training and maintenance costs. The price of a Orcale database is much higher than that of a SQL Server database, why Oracle databases are much higher than SQL Server database prices, while Oracle's initial cost is relatively high, especially when considering tool software Oracle has a lot of tool software to buy separately, and Oracle is more expensive than Microsoft's free SQL Server tool software. However, because SQL Server can only run under Windows, the reliability of SQL Server databases is generally considered to be relatively poor. Oracle's performance benefits are reflected in his multiple users, and SQL Server's performance advantage is too much for many users.

Operating SQL Server is significantly simpler than Orcale, if you have used Java and dotnet development platform, the difference is essentially Oracle and SQL Server, Oracle interface is based on Java, most of the tools are the DOS interface, Even sqlplus, SQL Server is like VB, full graphics interface, rarely see a DOS window. Enterprise Manager in SQL Server provides users with an integrated management console with a full graphical interface to centrally manage multiple servers. Oracle also has its own Enterprise Manager, and its performance in some ways even exceeds the SQL Server Enterprise Manager, but it is difficult to install.

Orcale database and SQL Server database that's faster? It is a difficult question to answer because there are many uncertainties, including the type of processing, data distribution and hardware infrastructure.

SQL Server 2000 is a fully web-supported database product that provides core support for Extensible Markup language, as well as the ability to query on the Internet and outside the firewall, with the features of scalability, flexibility, extensibility, and affordability, Oracle, however, has a reliable security that is a hundredfold faster than SQL Server, but its price is hundreds of times times higher than that of SQL Server.

In fact, the industry is considering the choice of database, which is based on the characteristics of the database and according to their business needs and infrastructure comprehensive consideration to decide.
