Using Oracle

Question

I would like to know how many of Microsoft developers (mostly us) use Oracle in their projects? How about other database such as MySQL, DB2 etc.

In my projects, I mostly use SQL Server 2008 and MySQL.

Thanks!

But most of the Database Developer guys choose Oracle over Sql Server.

Mahesh Chand · Answer

Thanks for the feedback guys! I always thought Oracle is not a database for developers. You need a dedicated DBA for Oracle. Too much complexity.

Suthish Nair · Answer

80% of my projects are in Oracle 10g.. But i feel easy and simple to code in SQL Server.. We started migrating all projects from Oracle to SQL Server its a good experience..

Zoran Horvat · Answer

My opinion is that Oracle is (much) better in high end applications. However in small projects I always recommend SQL Server Express Edition and that is my first choice always. It is free and has full MS SQL power only limits database size to 2 GB (or more nowadays). On the contrary Oracle XE allows you to have only one database instance and it cannot be larger than 1 GB.

Given a free choice I always use SQL Server. I had intended to get into MySql as well before Oracle acquired it :(
