What is difference between ORACLE and SQL-SERVER ?
1. Oracle runs on many platforms, SQL on Windows only.
2. Oracle includes IFS (Internet File System), Java integration; SQL is more of a pure database.
3. Oracle requires client install and setup (Not difficult, but very UNIX-like for Windows users)
4. SQL is #1 in Cost/Performance and overall Performance, although Oracle will refute that.
5. Replication is much easier in SQL.

6. Failover support in SQL is much, much easier
7. JDBC support is much better in Oracle, although Microsoft is working on it
8. ODBC support in both.
9. SQL is ANSI-SQL '92 compliant; making it easier to convert to another ANSI compliant database, theoretically anyway (truth is every database has proprietary extensions). Oracle is generally more proprietary and their main goal is to keep their customers locked-in.
10. SQL natively supports ODBC, OLEDB, XML, XML Query, XML updates. Oracle natively supports proprietary connections, JDBC. Not sure about XML support though.
11. SQL Server is much easier to administrate, with GUI and command- line tools. Most of Oracle is command-line (Back in SQL, 12 days I had a customer (at Kolkata) who was so proud that after a day's worth of work he had managed to script his database. I showed him how it was a 3 click operation in SQL.
12. Oracle requires add-ons for transaction monitors, failover, etc. SQL has COM+, uses NT clustering and generally has everything built-in.
13. SQL Analysis Services is included (A very powerful OLAP server). For Oracle it is a separate purchase.
Hope this post help you to select right database for your Access Control System, Attendance System, Video Analysis etc.
