>My brother, that lives in Paris, has a very peculiar job: he is kind of a "deal closer" for Oracle. What he does specifically is build multi-TB databases and benchmark complex queries/heavy load. He proves that SQL Server breaks ( he calls it a toy btw ), shows that db2 is too slow to be usable in those cases and that Oracle shines, which gets them the deal ( that's multi-million dollars deals generally ). I know for instance that lately, all banks in Turkey are moving from SQL Server to Oracle. Same goes about France Telecom...
Well that just proves that he's a good salesman. Businesses take decisions on $$, that doesn't always mean that what x chooses is better than what y chose. It just means it's better for them $$-wise.
