Hi, you are wise to carefully think about your database product and design before commiting to any one product. We run SQL and VB by microsoft and we chose it for its integration with other microsoft products (IIS,access,excel, exchange). You can certainly find lots of information about SQL at microsoft's site: www.microsoft.com under backoffice products. Same for oracle's site. Much depends on not only the product, but your talent pool. Do you have well-trained database administrators for SQL?If not, you may need to use Oracle so you will have a larger and experienced pool of people from which to draw. Determine all your needs-operating systems, costs, product integration, skilled personnel, etc. before deciding on one product over the other. The needs of your company should dictate. Good luck.
