More to the point, how big is your organization? If you need tru performance, and will have thousands of transactions a minute, Oracle on a top line server is the best choice, along with an Oracle DBA to manage it. However if you you need something to run on NT, and a rather small organization/only hindreds of transactions, I would go with MS SqlServer. Sql Server is easier to maintain than Oracle, but you still need at least a couple classes in DBA or a SqlServer DBA for setup and initial maint. Oracle has a built in development system (Java), SqlServer is best used with something like ASP/VB/VBA/C?.
