You do not offer them stable solution. I always offer solutions Win Svr - SQLSvr - VFP - Win OS. Most stable system I have never seen. We are Microsoft Certified Partner with more than 8 MCP. People from oracle can offer only server and training to staff. We offer full, tested working IS.

>Here in Kuwait, we see Oracle only in the big companies/organizations, in fact from my experience in the market here I found that one of the things that effects the Decision between the companies it is the “Repetition”, people here Oracle is v. good, so they go with it, whey they here SQL Server has bugs they drop it !!, most of them never judge technically.

>I know one company working on a new project and they want to buy a database engine, they prefer Oracle, but they have some financial problems so I told them to go with SQL2000 Server it’s much cheaper. They refused and they insisted to get Oracle .In fact I couldn’t convenes them, look at these figures:
>- Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition 25 User, Costs almost US$ 19,000.00
>- Oracle Support/Upgrade Plan 25 User, Costs almost US$ 4,800.00
>So, total is almost : US$ 23,800.00
>
>While SQL2000 Server Enterprise Edition 25 User, Cost almost US$ 10,000.00

>After all, still they are not convinced !!!!
