please i deal with an oracle database daily, it is truely user unfriendly. constant requests for re-login, constant time outs.


As a consumer, I believe all of the major players are permiated with anti-user flaws. It is as if no one sat down and wondered how anyone else would use these systems AND how some idiot would figure out how to really screwup the system. (instead of improving the product, the data program guru's say "don't do that". That does not work when the employee of the month does some here-to-for unknown manuver which locks the system) end of rant.

In short, all mentioned product are of poor quality.

Hire a DBA, a good one. Re-logins are the result of a parameter that can be set with system or dba privileges, as to user unfriendly, I presume you are speaking of an application as the end user should not be directly interfacing with the database. If that presumption is true it is hardly the fault of the database for the poor design of an application. As to locking up get a DBA. Don’t go get a k-mart one either, pay them what they are worth.

Don't get me wrong - Larry is just as nefarious as Bill, (better haircut and a bigger ego) but Larry's oracle database is far superior to SQL Server.
