Guy Coates sent us a summary of
Larry Ellison's Comdex speech:"
He will give anyone 1 million dollars if
a) Anyone can publish a benchmark for Microsoft SQL server, period.
b) Get SQL server to run less than 99 times more slowly than oracle database.
Quote; "If oracle is only 70 times faster, we will pay you 1 million dollars.""
I want a million dollars! But you'd have to pay me almost that
much just to convince me just to use MS SQL again, much
less benchmark it.
