I am involved in the planning stages of some applications being developed for our organization to be used on an intranet. All of the applications I have developed to date have been in Foxpro 2.6 and VFP 3.0 and 5.0. The potential intranet applications will have thousands of transactions added daily. In researching SQL Server 6.5, it appears to be the ideal back end for these applications.

Here is the problem. Someone here wants the applications developed with ORACLE as the back-end. Now, I don't know squat about Oracle, so I'm not going to say anything nasty about it. However, it appears to me that Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 would be the natural choice.

Does anyone out there have an opinion on this matter? Even better, does anyone know of anu documentation comparing the two products ORACLE and Microsoft SQL Server 6.5?
