Anybody out there a database person that can explain to me why people use Oracle? Why is it a better solution than SQL Server?
I have to say as a software developer I need to use databases for a handful of things: backup, restore, create/run scripts, create/run/debug stored procedures. And I can say that everytime I have to deal with Oracle I want to throw my computer through a window. God it's horrible. Just a complete pain in the arse to use. The worst UI on the planet. Just frustrating from beginning to end. Whereas, SQL Server is just easy as pie and user friendly out the rear.
Just had to vent. Every time I have a client issue with Oracle I want to say "Well, your first problem is that you are using Oracle!"
