I once worked in an Oracle only (and proud of it!) shop that was required by a major customer to investigate supporting SQL Server. We eventually moved to SQL Server, apart from cost (like the 50K DBAs) it was simply the time taken to do a database backup and the whole process that was involved in it. SQL Server was simpler, and a hell of a lot quicker to backup. Although having said that we probably had to resort to using those backups a bit more than we previously had to with Oracle (but you can't win em all).

SQL Server is a no brainer too me 1/2 hour to pick it up, simple and intuative, With oracle everything had to be done with sqlplus  or TOAD.

Thanks for the suggestion.
The link doesn't seem to work, but I found the necessary information using Google.
It seems you are right: the snapshot isolation level seems to be present in all editions.
Thanks for the tip.

Some people think oracle like the boogie man and still expensive.

And they are correct, Oracle is all about black magic and SQLPlus

I'm assuming that 'Other' includes things like SQL Server Express, BTrieve, Custom XML data sources, fear, corruption, extortion, intimidation, wire taps, white pages and that local official who likes his beer.

Hmm, I think all M$ SQL Server product defined as "SQL Server" option.
What are you read at ?

they should have put those options in the survey. Why do codeproject surveys have to be so stuffy anyways?

I just remembered another one! It is possible to torture mobile (cell) phones (yes that's right the phone, not the user). PS This may be illegal in some countries. Here's how:
Get yourself a box with a nice E1 card inside,
Write some dodgy software (at 3 in the morning when you're too tired to think straight) to call a mobile number, hang up if there's no immediate reply (instead of waiting for 30 seconds), and then immediately retry... 
Depending on the switching hardware in between you could get around 50+ attempted calls to the same phone per second - There's some chance the phone circuitry and/or SIM card will quietly die (permanently) under the barrage. Usually your own one, cause who else's phone are going to test with?
Not much good as an information source - but as we all know information obtained with torture is always suspect.
PS: If you have work colleagues who forget that 'mobile' means you should take your phone with you and it always seems to take 5 seconds longer than it should to rip the battery out of the back and toss it into someone else's 'round filing cabinet', then get yourself a 'Universal Mobile Phone Answering Device'. The UMPAD features a large solid paving brick. Repeated application of the UMPAD is all that it takes to answer any mobile phone.

On a serious note, I did "Other" in the poll because I've done some stuff with Firebird SQL[^]. Which is rather quite nice for small projects.
