Points are : (1) - number of the computers ( clients ) that I can Connect To that database (2) - security that make that database special (3) - command that help to make database very fast ( and if there GUI or just CLI) (4) - If I can make GUI for the database from within the program or not ( i.e do I must get program like visual studio.net or Eclipse to make graphic user interface for my database or the database it self has utilities for making this)
Hi , rather than a general feature comparision what you should be looking at is what business will the database be supporting. If it's an enterprise wide database with business dependancy on it, then you are reduced to only3 choices really i.e. Oracle , DB2 and MS SQL. These3 are the market leaders in today's tech world.
Disadvantage of MS SQL is that you have to stick to Microsoft Platform only.
When it comes to concurrency and high TPS support, there is really no beating Oracle and DB2.
In my personal exprience the added value you get with Oracle is the vast number of Oracle DBA professionals available in the market today. With attrition a major worry in IT industry now days, You don't want to implement a techonology which does not enjoy a good market penetration.
Oracle Database comes with Oracle SQL developer which is a free data query utility.
Regards.
