Re: How to convince my customer to use SQL2005 instaed of Oracle10g

Sounds like the customer wants what the customer wants... Although SQL
Server could probably easily handle the requirements you gave, instead of
trying to convert them to something they've said they don't want, maybe you
could use this as an opportunity to create an Oracle version of your app and
expand your client base. If they're willing to "underwrite" the conversion
of your app, why not...? They may have other considerations besides your
particular application which makes them want to use Oracle instead of SQL
Server as well.

Our application is design for SQL server, and it is already exists for
more than 8 years, it is so complicated and consist of so many modules,
so it is a bit risky for us to convert it to Oracle. Since our customer
size is not so big (about 200 users and the estimate database size will
not exceed 300Gb) SQL server should fit their need. Unfortunately they
insist to use Oracle and our skill set is on SQL server so i need an
advice to convince them to use SQL server.

I'm not familiar with Oracle, the only thing I know that SQL server is
better than Oracle are:
- Easy to install
- Easy to administrate
- Easy to maintain
- Good UI
- Auto tuning
- Come with a lot of extra tools like SSIS, SSAS, SSRS

But in terms of Performance, Reliability, Availability, Security how
good is SQL server compare with Oracle ?

Please advice.

Thanks
