 Oracle vs SQL Server

I would be interested in any ones opinion on the relative merits of
Oracle vs. SQL Server.

The system is to run a calling card application. There will be
telecoms switches in different countries, which will either need to
access a local server replicated from a main server, or to communicate
with a remote server directly.

Any opinions welcome.

If it needs to run on anything but NT, it had better be Oracle.

Having worked on a similar system running under Sybase (which is a
cousin of SQL Server), I would have to recommend Oracle because of
its ability to lock records (as opposed to pages) and its more mature
replication technology. OTOH, SQL Server will probably cost you less
in terms of development and deployment unless you already have a
good, Unix-based, infrastructure in your company.

as a result, if its big, it needs to be oracle (or db2).

Oracle also has beeter concurrency (i.e. handles more users hitting data
that is close on the disk at the same time better).
