Which would be better Sybase or Oracle ?

[parbhani]

Hi Guys,

We have a MS-Access based application. Its growing a lot and we are slowly thinking, what if we migrate it to some bigger RDBMS ?

So, as usual there is a question. Should we go to Oracle or Sybase ? why ? why not ?

The application is modarate on with say 500 to 1000 inserts a day and say around similiar updates. We have Enterprise license for Oracle. I am not sure how the licensing and costing for Sybase works.

Your opinions and experiances are most valuable.

Regards

unless your Oracle is server is maxed out, how would you explain to your management the need to purchase Sybase (software, hardware resources, DBA staff) for your "moderate-sized" application even if it could be shown that Sybase was, hypothetically, 50% faster for your application?
