I'm probably biased - but IMHO Microsofts SQLServer is a POS!!! They've tried to take Oracles marketshare of the RDMS market but the product is decidedly inferior to the Oracle systems. SQLServers internal security is weak compared to the Oracle products but it's decidedly cheaper hence it's large market share these days.

As in all things - you get what you pay for........
