Thomas-
My opinions are based on Oracle 8, which was the last version I used,
performance is a subjective guess-
-Performance is about the same.
-The only thing I've missed is point-in-time recovery.
-Stability is about the same.
-DBA work is about the same if you don't depend on a GUI.
-Support for postgreSQL is much faster. (A bit cheaper as well <grin>)
I haven't missed Oracle.
-Nick
