RE: DB2/400 comparisons with other relational databases (specifically Oracle and SQL Server) -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I wouldn't be surprised if SQL Server threatens Oracle's market presence.
Microsoft might someday do it through scalability, advanced functionality,
or simplified manageability.  They might also do it through proprietary
interdependencies in their products, or leveraged compatibility with their
own operating systems (and I use the term "operating system" loosely).

I think, however, that this article's title is misleading.  It's not clear
how SQL Server is gaining on Oracle in the article.  They should have
described features comparatively instead of just telling us what's new in
SQL Server.
